Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

3x/-8 = -21/4

(3x/-8)×-8 =( -21/4)×-8

3x = 42

3x/3 = 42/3

x = 14

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this you have to first move 3/-8 to the other side and divide while keeping x on the same side.

now to divide you must flip over 3/8 and multiply so 21/4 x 8/3 ( negative sign cross off because there are two of them) so 3 and 21 cross off leaving 7 in the numerator 4 and 8 cross of leaving 2 in the numerator and then 7 and 2 get multiplied and you will get 14.

Evaluate: tan(-120 degrees).

dem82 [27]

-120° = -2π/3 radians.

Tangent is defined as Opposite/Adjacent or Sine/Cosine in a unit circle. So, if you have memorized the unit circle,

sin(-2π/3) = √3/2
cos(-2π/3) = -1/2

So, tan(-2π/3) would be:
$\frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} }{ \frac{-1}{2} } = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}* -\frac{2}{1}$

Simplify, and you get:
$-\frac{2 \sqrt{3} }{2} = - \sqrt{3}$

And, so, tan(-2π/3) = -√3

a term in an arithmetic sequence is 488. the first term of the sequence is 7 and the common difference is 13. find the term numb

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: the term number is 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of the term be x

The value of the xth term = 488

In an arithmetic sequence, the terms differ by a common difference, d. This means that the difference between two consecutive terms, d is constant.

The formula for the nth term is

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Where

Tn = the nth term of the arithmetic sequence

a = the first term of the arithmetic sequence.

d = common difference.

From the information given,

a = 7

d = 13

We are looking for the xth term.

Tx = 488 = 7 + (x-1)13

488 = 7 + 13x - 13

Collecting like terms on the left hand side and right hand side of the equation,

13x = 488 -7 + 13

13x = 494

x = 38

The value of the 38th term is 488.
