5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
multiply 5 and 3 by their parentheses

5s + 30= 3s - 6
subtract 3s from both sides

2s + 30= -6
subtract 30 from both sides

2s= -36
divide both sides by 2

s= -18


CHECK:
5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
5(-18 + 6)= 3(-18 - 2)
5(-12)= 3(-20)
-60= -60


ANSWER: The value of s that makes the statement true is -18.

Hope this helps! :)

Which trail is the closest in length to 10.5 kilometers?
Yuliya22 [10]
First of all you calculate the difference between the numbers:
10.5 - 10.653 = -0.153
10.5 - 10.592 = -0.092
10.5 - 10.732 = -0.232
10.5 - 10.484 = 0.016

You then select the difference with the smallest number (ignoring the positive and negative symbols). That happens to be the last one.

This means that the answer will be D) Spruce Trail.

The true statement about why the Fibonacci sequence is recursively defined is (c) The Fibonacci sequence is recursively-defined because you must know the values of the two previous terms in order to find the value of the next term

<h3>How to determine the true statement</h3>

With an exception to the first two terms, each term of the Fibonacci sequence is the sum of the two previous terms

This means that,

The Fibonacci sequence cannot be defined explicitly, because the two previous terms can not be determined by a direct formula

Hence, the true statement about why the Fibonacci sequence is recursively defined is (c)
