Solve for x. will give brailiest 2x + 5 = 27 8.5 11 16 64

1 answer:

4 0

2x + 5 = 27
subtract 5 to both sides
2x + 5 - 5 = 27 - 5
simplify
2x = 22
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 22/2
simplify
x = 11

answer is 11 (second choice)

Find the first term and the common ratio third term =6 and seventh term= 96

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first term and common ratio while we are given third term = 6 and seventh term = 96

Since common ratio is required so, the sequence is geometric sequence

The formula used is: $a_n= a_1r^{n-1}$

We are given: third term = 6 i,e

$a_3=a_1r(3-1)\\6=a_1r^2----eq(1)$

Seventh term = 96

$a_7=a_1r(7-1)\\96=a_1r^6----eq(2)$

Dividing eq(2) and eq(3)

$\frac{96}{6}=\frac{a_1r^6}{a1r2}\\16=\frac{r^6}{r^2}\\16=r^{6-2}\\=> r^4=16\\Taking \ fourth \ root\\ r=2,-2,2i,-2i\\ \ We \ will \ consider \ only \ positive \ value \ of \ r \ i.e \ \textbf{ r= 2}$
