4x-(8-x)-2= 9x - 20+x-5

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x−(8−x)−2=9x−20+x−5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−(8−x)−2=9x−20+x−5

4x+−8+x+−2=9x+−20+x+−5

(4x+x)+(−8+−2)=(9x+x)+(−20+−5)(Combine Like Terms)

5x+−10=10x+−25

5x−10=10x−25

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

5x−10−10x=10x−25−10x

−5x−10=−25

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

−5x−10+10=−25+10

−5x=−15

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

for me what is finding a good play list and going out because i can not lay down and relax so i usually go to a coffee shop. i also use the gum trick and this actually works. another advice is highlighting subjects it really does me remember certain things
