Answer:

$4.46

Step-by-step explanation:

11.50+x=16.80-16.80×(5/100)

or, x=15.96-11.50=$4.46

Hope, this helps you.

Answer:

4.46  

Step-by-step explanation:

(11.5 + x) + 5% = 16.8

11.5 + x = 16.8 - 5%

x = (16.8 - 5% ) - 11.5

x = 15.96 - 11.5

x = 4.46

5. What is the solution to the equation -2.5(x-4)=-3x+4?​
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4

Distribute

-2.5x +10 = -3x +4

Add 3x to each side

-2.5x+10 +3x = -3x+4+3x

.5x +10 = 4

Subtract 10 from each side

.5x+10-10=4-10

.5x = -6

Divide by .5

.5x/.5 = -6/.5

x = -12

How many terms are there in the sequence 1, 8, 28, 56, ..., 1 ?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

9 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

1, 8, 28, 56, ..., 1

Required

Determine the number of sequence

To determine the number of sequence, we need to understand how the sequence are generated

The sequence are generated using

\left[\begin{array}{c}n&&r\end{array}\right] = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Where n = 8 and r = 0,1....8

When r = 0

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&0\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-0)!0!} = \frac{8!}{8!0!} = 1

When r = 1

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&1\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-1)!1!} = \frac{8!}{7!1!} = \frac{8 * 7!}{7! * 1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8

When r = 2

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&2\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6!}{6! * 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7}{2 *1} =2 8

When r = 3

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&3\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-3)!3!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5!}{5! *3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6}{3 *2 *1} = 56

When r = 4

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&4\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-4)!4!} = \frac{8!}{4!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4!}{4! *4*3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6*5}{4*3 *2 *1} = 70

When r = 5

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&5\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-5)!5!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5!}{5! *3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6}{3 *2 *1} = 56

When r = 6

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&6\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-6)!6!} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6!}{6! * 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7}{2 *1} = 28

When r = 7

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&7\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-7)!7!} = \frac{8!}{7!1!} = \frac{8 * 7!}{7! * 1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8

When r = 8

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&8\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-8)!8!} = \frac{8!}{8!0!} = 1

The full sequence is: 1,8,28,56,70,56,28,8,1

And the number of terms is 9
