Answer:
Decreases
Step-by-step explanation:
As 'n' increases the value of the (1/4) will decrease.
Say, n=1 ; 1/4
n=2 ; 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16(because n=2, there are two 1/4s)
n= and so on
13 - (x+2) = 8
subtract 13 from both sides
-(x+2) = -5
divide by -1 to get rid of negative
(x+2) = 5
subtract 2 from both sides
x=3
the answer is -3/2 and -11/2
