<h3>Answer: k+6</h3>

Explanation:

k = number of marbles Kasie has

Since Mason has 6 more than her, this means he has k+6 marbles. Whatever k is, add 6 to it to get Mason's count.

For example, if Kasie has k = 5 marbles then Mason has k+6 = 5+6 = 11 marbles.

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?

Serggg [28]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-2\\
n=6\\
S_6=-105
\end{cases}$

$\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)
\\\\\\
-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1$

Solve the equation:<br><br> a) -3 = 7+2t/3<br><br> b) 4(5x-2) = 7(2x+3) <br><br> c) 2x-6 = 30-2.5x

Umnica [9.8K]

Let's start by solving the first equation.

a) -3 = 7 + 2t/3
To begin simplifying this equation, we should multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the denominator on the right side of the equation.
-9 = 7 + 2t
Next, we should subtract 7 from both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side.
-16 = 2t
Finally, we should divide both sides by 2.
t= -8

Now let's move on to the next equation.

b) 4(5x-2) = 7(2x+3)
Let's use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses and their coefficients.
20x-8 = 14x + 21

Now, lets subtract 14x from both sides of the equation.

6x - 8 = 21

Next, let's add 8 to both sides of the equation.

6x = 29

And divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 6.

x = 29/6 or 4 5/6

Now for the last equation.

C) 2x - 6 = 20 - 2.5x
First, we should add 2.5x to both sides to cancel out the -2.5x on the right side of the equation.
4.5x - 6 = 20
Now, let's add 6 to both sides to get the variable term alone.
4.5x = 26
Finally, we should divide both sides by 4.5 to get x by itself.
x = 5 7/9

Hope this helps! :)

I really need help on this please

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

When you simplify you get 5/6. Hence both x can be removed and when divided by the exponents you get x cannot be equal to zero. The Answer is the second.
