Answer:

$x = -\dfrac{5}{3c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You want x alone on the left side.

x is being multiplied by 3 and by c.

The opposite operation of multiplication is division. You must divide 3xc by 3c to end up with just x.

You must do the same operation to both sides of an equation, so divide both sides by 3c.

$3xc = -5$

Divide both sides by 3c.

$\dfrac{3xc}{3c} = \dfrac{-5}{3c}$

Simplify both sides.

$x = -\dfrac{5}{3c}$

You are given a cube with a length of 2.5 cm a width of 2.5 cm and a heigh of 2.5 cm and its mass is 295 g what is the density

Klio2033 [76]

Density = mass/volume
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5
= 15.625 cm^3
Density = 295/15.625
= 18.88 g/cm^3

Consider the series 4 + 12 + 36 ... Find the sum of the first 9 terms.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

39364

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify the equation to make 4(1+3+9...) The nth term is therefore $3^{n-1}$ so u can substitute that into the equation so 4( $3^{n-1}+ 3^{n} + 3^{n+1}$ ..). This would simplify to 4( $3^0 +3+3^2$ + $3^3+3^4+3^5+3^6+3^7+3^8$ ). By simplifying this, you can make it so 4( $2^2+6^2+18^2+42^2+81^2$ ) = 4(4+36+324+2916+6561) =39364
