Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation

2x + 1 + 5x - 8

2. Add 8 on both sides

2x + 9 = 5x

3. Get the variables together

9 = 3x

4. Solve for x and divide both sides by 3

x = 3

Hello!

$\large\boxed{x = 3}$

2x + 1 = 5x - 8

Solve by subtracting both sides by 2x:

2x - 2x + 1 = 5x - 2x - 8

1 = 3x - 8

Add 8 to both sides:

1 + 8 = 3x - 8 + 8

9 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

9/3 = 3x/3

x = 3

Use the drop-down menus to complete each equation so the statement about its solution is true. No Solutions 8x – 2 – 5x + 7 = x

SVEN [57.7K]

No solution is 3x + 4

One solution is 2x + 4

Infinitely many solution is 3x + 5

What is the 50th term of the arithmetic sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, ... ?

zysi [14]

Answer:

B. 199

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an Arithmetic sequence : 3, 7, 11, 15, ...

We are supposed to find the 50th term .

So, first consider the formula of nth term in Arithmetic mean:

$a_{n} = a+(n-1)*d$

where

a is first term of sequence

n is term position

d is common difference

$a_{n}$ = the term you are supposed to find

Now,

a = 3 ( first term )

n = 50 th term ( given )

d = 7-3 = 11-7 = 4(common difference

Substitute these value in the formula given above

⇒ $a_{50} = 3+(50-1)*4$

⇒ $a_{50} = 3+(49)*4$

⇒ $a_{50} = 3+196$

⇒ $a_{50} = 199$

Hence ,The 50th term of given arithmetic sequence is 199

So, OPTION B is correct .

In 1985 there were 285 south and subscribers in a small town of Centerville. The number of subscribers increased by 75% per year

marishachu [46]

If 75% if 285 is 213.75 and 213.75*9years is 1923.75 is how much the self and subscribers increased... I hope this is right
