8 0

Answer:

x = your number

3 / ( x + 8 ) = 2 / ( x + 3 )

Cross multiply

3 ∙ ( x + 3 ) = ( x + 8 ) ∙ 2

3 x + 9 = 2 x + 16

Subtract 2 x to both sides

x + 9 = 16

Subtract 9 to both sides

x = 7

1/8 divided by 3/4 please help

dlinn [17]

1/8 divided by 3/4 is (1/8) / (3/4). When you divide fractions, you flip the 2nd number and change the divide into multiply. So (1/8)*(4/3). Multiply top by top and bottom by bottom to get 4/24. That simplifies to 1/6

Gustavo and yuki were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence 19, 0, -19, -38...

KiRa [710]

Answer:

<h2>Neither Gustavo nor Yuki</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an arithmetic sequence.

$0-19=-19\\-19-0=-19\\-38-(-19)=-38+19=-19$

The difference is constant.

The explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

Substitute:

$a_1=19,\ d=-19$

$a_n=19+(n-1)(-19)$ <em>use distributive property</em>

$a_n=19-19n+19\\\\a_n=(19+19)-19n\\\\a_n=38-19n$
