Solve for the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
viva [34]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, you can set up a proportion between the 2 triangles we see.

The small triangle can be written as \frac{16}{20}, and the large triangle can be written as \frac{16+12}{20+2x-3} = \frac{28}{2x+17}.

Set both proportions equal to each other.

\frac{16}{20}=\frac{28}{2x+17}

Cross multiply and solve for x.

16(2x+17)=(28)(20)

32x+272=560

32x=288

x=9

The first term of geometric sequence is 7 and the common ratio is -2. Find the 9th term.
kobusy [5.1K]
a_{1} = 7.

Ratio means multiply/divide.
To get the next number, multiply number by common ratio.
To get a previous number, divide by common ratio.

Since we want the next number...
2nd term: 7 x -2 = -14
3rd term: -14 x -2 = 28
4th term: 28 x -2 = -56
5th term: -56 x -2 = 112

Keep going until 9th term!
