Solve the equation 1
4
(4x − 24) + x = 14.

Distribute the
1
4
to the quantity to get:

Combine the like terms to get:
HURR

Add 6 to both sides to get:

x =

(4x-24)+x=14

4x-24+x=14

5x-24=14

5x=38

5     5

     38

x =  5     or x = 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
