Answer:

x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x + 8 + (-3)(x) + (-3)(1)$
$4x + 8 -3x -3$
$(4x-3x) + (8-3)$
$x + 5$

Therefore, the answer is x + 5.

Answer:

x + 5

Step-by-step Solution:

<u>First, we will simplify the distributive property, then we will simplify and obtain our result.</u>

(4x + 8) - 3(x + 1)
=> 4x + 8 - 3x - 3
=> x + 8 - 3
=> x + 5

Hence, the simplified expression is x + 5.

for each x-y table given,copy the table, find the pattern and fill in the missing entries. Then write the rule for the pattern i

mash [69]

Answer:

see the attached for the table and rules

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A graph of the given points shows they lie on the same line, one with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of 2. Thus the rule is ...

y = 3x +2

see the attachment for table values

b) The ratios of given points are all the same: y/x = 5/2, so that is the constant of proportionality:

y = (5/2)x

Answer:

A whole number first term to render as fifth term a value larger than 10000, should be at least 121

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as recursive since it involves the previous number of the sequence, and defined as:

$a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6$

we also know that the first term is 4

Then in this case, the first five terms are:

$a_1=4\\a_2=4*3+6=18\\a_3=18*3+6=60\\a_4=60*3+6=186\\a_5=186*3+6=564\\$

So if we want to find the first term in the case that the fifth one is greater than 10,000 using this recursive formula, now we have to start backwards, and say that the fifth term is "> 10000" and what the fourth one is.

Notice that if you have this definition for the nth term, we can obtain from it, what the previous term is to find the general rule:

$a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6\\a_n-6=a_{n-1}*3\\\frac{a_n-6}{3} = a_{n-1}\\a_{n-1}=\frac{a_n}{3} -2$

So the rule is to subtract 6 from he term, and divide the subtraction by 3. Then working backwards:

$a_5>10000\\\frac{a_5}{3} -2>\frac{10000}{3} -2\\a_4>=\frac{10000}{3} -2\\\frac{a_4}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{3}-2}{3}-2 =\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\a_3>\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\\frac{a_3}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} }{3} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{8}{9} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\a_2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\\frac{a_2}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}}{3} -2=\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27} \\a_1>\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27}\approx 120.49$
