Answer:

5 is the value which makes the equation true .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have provided an equation that is 9 ( 3x - 16 ) + 15 = 6x - 24 . And we are asked to write the steps to solve the equation with explanation  and to find the value of X .

Solution : -

$\longmapsto \quad \: 9(3x - 16) + 15 = 6x - 24$

Step 1 : Solving parenthesis on left side using distributive property which means multiplying 9 with 3x as well as -16 :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x - \bold{144 }+ \bold{15 }= 6x - 24$

Step 2 : Solving like terms on left side that are -144 and 15 :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x -129 = 6x - 24$

Step 3 : Adding 129 on both sides :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x - \cancel{129} - \cancel{129} = 6x \bold{ - 24 } + \bold{129}$

Now on cancelling -129 with 129 on left side and solving the terms that are -24 and 129 on right side , We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x = 6x + 105$

Step 4 : Subtracting with 6x on both sides :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \bold{27x} - \bold{6x} = \cancel{6x} +105 - \cancel{ 6x}$

On calculating further, We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:21x = 105$

Step 5 : Now we are Dividing with 21 on both sides so that we can isolate the variable that is x :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \dfrac{ \cancel{21}x}{ \cancel{21}} = \dfrac{105}{ 21}$

Now , by cancelling 21 with 21 on left side , We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:x = \cancel{\dfrac{105}{21}}$

Step 6 : Now our final step is to simplify the value of x that is 105/21 . We know that 21 × 5 is equal to 105 . So :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \purple{\underline{\boxed{\frak{ x = 5 }}}}$

Henceforth , value of x is 5

Verifying : -

Now we are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in the given equation . So ,

9 ( 3x - 16 ) + 15 = 6x - 24

9 [ 3 ( 5 ) - 16 ] + 15 = 6 ( 5 ) - 24

9 ( 15 - 16 ) + 15 = 30 - 24

9 ( -1 ) + 15 = 6

-9 + 15 = 6

6 = 6

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence , Verified .

Therefore, our value for x is correct that means it'll makes the equation true .

Solve for x log(7x+1) = log(x-2) + 1

myrzilka [38]

Log(7x+1) - log(x-2) =1

log[(7x+1) / (x-2)] =1 or log[(7x+1) / (x-2)] =log10 (log10=1)

it means (7x+1) / (x-2) =10

Solving ===> x=7

a. This is the geometric sequence: a1 = 1.5 m = 150 cm, r = 0.74

The formula now is an = a1 x r ^ n-1

Just substitute a1 = 150 cm and r = 0.74

an = 150 x (0.74) ^ n – 1

b. The second part is:

A6 = 150 x 0.74 ^ 6-1

= 150 x 0.74 ^5

= 150 x 0.221906624

= 33.28509936 cm
