= 12x + 15y because 3 x 4x = 12x and 3 x 5y = 15y
Answer:
k = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of k terms of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...
... Sk = a1·(1 -r^k)/(1 -r)
For the given numbers, this is ...
... 118096 = 78732·(1 -(1/3)^k)/(1 -1/3)
Manipulating this to get the term containing k, we have
... 1 -(2/3)(118096/78732) = (1/3)^k
... 1/59049 = (1/3)^k
Taking logarithms, we get
... -log(59049) = -k·log(3)
... log(59049)/log(3) = k = 10

Answer:
Explanation:
We can factor the numerator and denominator as;
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
−
1
)
2
x
(
x
−
1
)
We can now cancel common term in the numerator and denominator:
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
−
1
)
2
x
(
x
−
1
)
⇒
x
−
2
2
x
However, we cannot divide by
0
so we must exclude:

x
=

⇒
x
=

Step-by-step explanation:
-2a-9=6a+15
Move 6a to the other side. Sign changs from +6a to -6a.
-2a-6a-9=6a-6a+15
-2a-6a-9=15
-8a-9=15
Move -9 to the other side. Sign changes from -9 to +9.
-8a-9+9=15+9
-8a=15+9
-8a=24
Divide both sides by -8
-8a/-8=24/-8
a=-3
Answer: a=-3
