Solve for x. -2(16 - 4x) - 8 = 6(x + 2)

1 answer:

6 0

So...

-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2)            Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12                 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12                    Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12                          Add 40 to both sides
2x=52                                 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26                                   Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2)   Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28)                  Multiply
176-8=168                         Subtract
168=168

So x=26

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Create a sequence with five terms based on the given information. a. A arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a constant

kolezko [41]

Part a .

A arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a common difference of 5 .

To find the first five therms, since the common difference is 5, so we add 5 to get the fourth term and add 5 to fourth term to get the fifth term .

And for first two terms, we will subtract 5 from 8 to get the second term and subtract 5 from the second term to get the first term. And we will get

$8-5-5,8-5,8, 8+5+5 = -2 ,3,8,13,18$

Part b:A geometric sequence with a fifth term of 1/3 and constant ratio of 1/3.

TO find the first five terms, since the constant ratio of 1/3, so we multiply 1/3 to third term to get fourth term, and multiply fourth term by 1/3 to get fifth term .

And to get the first two terms, we will divide third term by 1/3, to get the second term and divide the second term by 1/3 to get the first term, that is

$3,1,\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{9},\frac{1}{27}$

First observe that if $a+b>0$ ,

$(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + 2ab + b^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a + b)} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b(a+b)}}} \\\\ \implies a + b = \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{a^2 + ab + b \sqrt{\cdots}}}}$
