Given the first three terms of a linear sequence: 3x – 2;x+9; 2x + 5 Determine the value of x.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides

- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Each new term is 1 greater than the previous term.  Therefore:

x + 9 = (3x - 2) + 1                   Equivalent to x + 9 = 3x - 2 + 1, or:

                                                                       9 + 2 - 1 = 2x, or 2x = 10

                                                Thus, x = 5

Check by substituting 5 for x as indicated:

3x - 2 becomes 13 (which means the next term must be 14)

x + 9 becomes 14, and

2x + 5 becomes 15

and these consecutive sequence terms are {13, 14, 15}

The ratio of red flowers to yellow flowers in a field is 5 to 7. If there are 392 yellow flowers in the field, how many red flowers are there?

Answers

Answer:

1. The new weight of elephant is 5.342 tones.

3. The number of red flowers are 280.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. weight of elephant = 6 tons

weight lost = 1450 pounds

As , 1 pound = 0.000454 ton

So, 1450 pounds = 0.658 ton

The new weight of elephant is

= 6 - 0.658 = 5.342 tones

3.

red flower to the yellow flower is 5 : 7

Number of yellow flowers = 392

Let the red flowers are R.

So,

[tex]\frac {5}{7}=\frac{R}{392}\\\\R = 280[/tex]

The circumference of the top rim of the cone shaped paper cut is 7.87 inches. Find the least amount of paper that can for a cone shaped cup

Answers

Answer:

14.55 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure it is given that,

The circumference of the top rim of a cone shaped paper cut = 2πr = 7.87 inches

The slant height is l = 3.7 inch

Therefore the least amount of paper which can form a cone shaped cup is the surface area of the cone.

The surface area of the cone is given as :

[tex]$A=\frac{2 \pi r l}{2}$[/tex]

[tex]$A=\frac{(2 \pi r) (l)}{2}$[/tex]

[tex]$A = \frac{(7.87) \times (3.7)}{2}$[/tex]

[tex]$A=\frac{29.119}{2}$[/tex]

A = 14.55 square inches

Amount of paper required = 14.55 square inches

donna has 40 ounces of an alloy containing 65% iron. How many ounces of a second alloy that is 42% iron should be mixed with the first alloy to get a new alloy this is 50% iron

Answers

40 oz of a 65% iron alloy contains 40 × 0.65 = 26 oz of iron.

x oz of a 42% alloy contains 0.42x oz of iron.

To end up with an alloy of 50% iron, Donna needs to use x oz of the 42% alloy such that

(26 + 0.42x) / (40 + x) = 0.50

Solve for x :

26 + 0.42x = 0.50 (40 + x)

26 + 0.42x = 20 + 0.50x

6 = 0.08x

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

3(7+10) = G + 30

21 + 30 = G+30 (mutilpy-3 times 7 and 10)

minus 30 from both sides

21=G

5(3 + H) = 15 + 45

15 + 5H = 15 + 45 (multipy- 5 times 3 and H)

minus 15 from both sides

5H = 45

divde both sides by 5

H=8

A great white shark swims 56 feet below sea level and is 97ft from the sail boat
What is the ANGLE OF DEPRESSION from the sail boat to the shark ?? ( round the the nearest WHOLE degree )

Answers

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trignometry here

Assuming that the angle created between the surface of the sea and the 56feet below line is 90 degrees.

So we use the sin rule

sin90/97 = sin x/56

multiply 56 to the other side

56*sin90/97 = sin x

sin90=1

56/97 = sin x

x= sin^-1 (56/97)

x= 35.3

Round and you get 35

find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 83 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 43 = 126 (sum of two interior opposite angle is equal to the exterior angle formed)

x = 126 - 43

x = 83 degree

Answer:

83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this you first find the angle opposite to 126. To do this you subtract 126 from 180 as 180 degrees is a straight line, and we are looking for that missing angle.

This equals 54 degrees.

Now, 54 + 43 equals 97.

Because all interior angles of a triangle always equal 180, you can find that last angle by subtracting 97 from 180. This leaves you with 83 degrees.

Three Bell ringing constituency in intervals of 30,36 and 45 minutes respectively. At what time will they ring together again if they ring simultaneously at 8:00 a.M.​

Answers

Answer:

The bells will ring simultaneously at 11.00 a.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, what we have to do here is to get the lowest common multiple the three numbers

The numbers are the given minutes

These are 30,36 and 45 minutes

The lowest common multiple of these three is 180 minutes

Now, we convert this to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

180 minutes = x hours

x * 60 = 180 * 1

x = 180/60

x = 3 hours

If we added this to 8 am, we have 8 + 3 = 11 a.m

The area of a wall that needs to be papered is 84sqft. The wallpaper that needs to be papered is 18in wide and 33ft long. Rolls of solid color wallpaper will be used, so patterns do not have to match up.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the wall is 84 ft².

The width of the wallpaper is 18 in.

1 ft. = 12 in

Hence; 18 in = 18 in * 1 ft. per 12 in = 1.5 ft

The length of the wallpaper is 33 ft.

Therefore, the area of the wallpaper = length * width = 1.5 ft. * 33 ft. = 49.5 ft². This means that each roll of wallpaper has an area of 49.5 ft²

Therefore, the minimum amount of rolls of wallpaper needed = area of wall / area of wallpaper

Amount of wallpaper = 84 ft² / 49.5 ft² = 1.7 rolls

Answer:

The answer is (4)  [tex]2x+x^{2} +4x^{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

A leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term of highest degree in a given polynomial.  

A degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent on one of its variables (for a single variable), or the largest sum of exponents on variables in a single term (for multiple variables).

The answer can be found when the polynomial is rearranged into standard form, and the standard form of the polynomial will look like [tex]4x^{3}+x^{2} +2x[/tex]. A polynomial is in standard form when the term with the highest degree is placed first, followed by the term which has the next highest degree, and so on.

Once the polynomial is in standard form, the leading coefficient is 4 and has a degree of 3. Thus, causing (4) [tex]2x+x^{2} +4x^{3}[/tex] to be the answer.
