Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question I have used some formula.

1. Formula to find the value of term

x + (term number - 1) × {(greater term number - smaller term number) ÷ (greater term containing value) - (smaller term containing value)}

2. Formula to find the value of x given in 1st formula

x = value containing by term - (term number - 1) × {(value containing by greater term - value containing smaller term) ÷ (6-4)}

Here greater term number means the value containing by the greater term. In this question greater term is 6 which contain a value in it that is 18. So, greater term number in this question is 18. So, smaller term number means the smaller term containing a value in it or the number containing by the greater term.

4th term = 8

To find the value of 7th term first we need to find the value of x.

              x = 8 - (4 - 1) × {(18 - 8) ÷ (6 - 4)}

              x = 8 - 3 × (10 ÷ 2)

              x = 8 - 3 × 5

              x = 8 - 15

              x = -7

Now, to check whether the value of x is -7, I have find the 4th term by replacing x with -7 in the 1st formula.

              = -7 + (4 - 1) × {(18 - 8)} ÷ (6 - 4)

              = -7 + 3 × (10 ÷ 2)

              = -7 + 3 × 5

              = -7 + 15

              = <u>8</u>

Answer came 8 and its correct answer. So, the value of x is -7

I have also find the 6th term so you understand it more properly.

6th term = 18

              = -7 + (6 - 1) × [{(18 - 8)} ÷ (6 - 4)]

              = -7 + 5 × {(10 ÷ 2)}

              = -7 + 5 × 5

              = -7 + 25

              = <u>18</u>

Answer of 6th term is also correct.

I think now you know how to find the 7th term.

7th term = -7 + (7 - 1) × {(18 - 8) ÷ (6 - 4)

              = -7 + 6 × (10 ÷ 2)

              = -7 + 6 × 5

              = -7 + 30

              = <u>23</u>

If you think that I have made mistake anywhere or you did not understood my explanation than please ask me in comment or you can report this answer. But, before reporting please see carefully because, once any answer got reported you can't undo it.

Write the multiplier or divisor for each pair of equivalent fractions 1/4 = 7/28
Fittoniya [83]
The equivalent fraction is 1/4 = 7/28
the multiplier or divisor for the equation is 7
if we divide to each pair of equation with 7 equation we get the same answer 
like when we 7 is divisor in 1 / 4 we get the answer 1/ 28
and with 7/ 28, we also get the answer 1 / 28
and the when we multiply 7 with 1/4 we get the answer 7/4 and with 7 /28, also the answer is 7/4.

NEED HELP ASAP
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

x=55

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles and corresponding angles are equal

3x-60 = x+50

Subtract x from each side

3x-60-x = x+50-x

2x-60 =50

Add 60 to each side

2x-60+60=50+60

2x=110

Divide by 2

2x/2 =100/2

x =55

PLEASE HELP!! will give brainliest
frutty [35]
A:
Table 1:
f(x) = 8x
X= cups so
ounces =
8* # of cups
Table 2:
f(x) =16x
X= pints so
ounces =
16*# of pints
Table 3:
f(x)= 32x
X= quarts so
ounces=
32*# of quarts
Note: another way instead of f(x)=kx is y=kx
B:
Depending on the slope we can easily find which is the steepest slope by easily comparing the slopes and seeing which is greater.
T1: 8
T2: 16
T3: 32
So, looking at our slopes, table 3 has the greatest slope because it has the greater slope out of the other two.
C:
The phrase, "rate of change" is another way to say the slope. To list again,
T1: 8
T2: 16
T3: 32
The table with the smallest slope would be table 1 since it is less than the other two tables.

I hope that helps, if you need any more assistance or you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!
