Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-3 = 7x+12

  • Subtract 12 from each side

4x-15 = 7x

  • Subtract 4x from each side

-15 = 3x

  • Divide each side by 3

-5 = x

  • Rewrite using symmetric property
<h2><u>x = -5</u></h2>

Solve each system using elimination. 3x+3y=27 x-3y=-11
Natalija [7]

Answer:

x=4

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +3y = 27

x - 3y = -11 (add these up so 3y will be eliminated and you'll have x only)

4x = 16

now let's eliminate x (you can put 4 instead of x though)

3x + 3y = 27

-3/ x -3y= -11 (multiple the the 2nd equation with -3 to eliminate x )

3x + 3y =27

-3x + 3y =33

6y = 60

Is the sequence 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ... a geometric sequence? If it is a geometric sequence, what is the common ratio?
vovangra [49]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence is NOT a geometric sequence.

It is an arithmetic sequence, because the numbers are going up using addition, going up each time by 4.

Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the geometric sequence - 2,6,-18,54,-162....​
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Sure, the common difference is -3, but like you have to multiple it and stuff, so it goes like this: -2,6,-18,54,-162,486,-1458,4374,-13122,39366,-118,098,354294.

So then, add all of the 12 terms I stated, and that will equal to 265,720

Therefore, the sum of the first 12 terms of that geometric sequence is 265,720.
