4x + 7x - 2 + 5x - 10 find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
valina [46]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Group like terms

   4x + 7x + 5x - 2 - 10 = x

2) Add similar elements

   16x - 2 - 10 = x

3) Subtract

   16x - 12 = x

4) Add 12 to both sides

   16x - 12 + 12 = x + 12

5) Simplify

   16x = x + 12

6) Subtract x from both sides

   16x - x = x + 12 - x

7) Simplify

   15x = 12

8) Divide both sides by 15

    15x/15 = 12/15

9) Simplify

   x = 4/5

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 6, −18, 54, −162, ...
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let a_n represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}

Plz help<br> 15 + (-8) =
Effectus [21]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + (-8)

7

The answer would be 7 because you are only taking 15 plus negative 8 which would technically be the same as taking 15 minus 8, which would be 7.

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest! Thanks! Let me know if you need anymore help! :D

I NEED HELP IDENTIFYING THE SLOPE PLEASE !!! Pic attatched !!!!
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = 2,4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)

m = \frac{1-4}{5-2}  = \frac{-3}{3} = - 1 ← negative slope

Repeat

with (x₁, y₁ ) = - 7,8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 0)

m = \frac{0-8}{-7+7} = \frac{-8}{0}

Division by zero is undefined, thus slope is undefined.

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 3)

m = \frac{-3+3}{-4-6} = \frac{0}{-10} = 0 ← zero slope

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 2)

m = \frac{2-5}{-1-3} = \frac{-3}{-4} = \frac{3}{4} ← positive slope
