Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
let the terms be a,ar,ar²
r=2/3
a+a(2/3)+a(2/3)²=171
multiply by 9
9a+6a+4a=171×9
19 a=171×9
a=(171×9)/(19)
a=9×9=81
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 161x + 17y - 391 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
y-intercept = 23 Get the points (0, 23)
x- intercept = 4.75 (4.75, 0)
4.75 = 17/4 (17/4, 0)
slope
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 23) / (17/4 - 0)
m = -23 / 17/4
m = - 161 / 17
equation
(y - y1) = m (x - x1)
( y - 23) = -161 / 17 (x - 0)
y - 23 = -161/17 x
17(y - 23) = -161x
17y - 391 = -161x
161x + 17y - 391 = 0
-5/8 divided by -3/4 is the same as -5/8 multiplied by -4/3. Multiply the tops to get 20. Multiply the bottoms to get 24. A negative over a negative is positive and you end up with 20/24! :)
