Given,
2x - 1/2 = 3 - x
2x + x = 3 + 1/2
3x = 7/2
3x = 3.5
x = 3.5/3
x = 1.167
⇒ Solution
1) Simplify
<span>4x−20−8=−28+6x
2) </span>Simplify 4x−20−8 to 4x−28
<span>4x−28=−28+6x
3) G</span>roup all terms
<span>4x−28=6x−28
4) </span>Cancel −28 from eachside
<span>4x=6x
5) </span>Move all of the terms to one side
<span>4x−6x=0
6) </span>Simplify equation 4x−6x to −2x
<span>−2x=0
</span>7) Divide each side by <span><span>−2</span></span>
<span><span>x=0</span></span>
Answer:
b. 8.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that in a geometric sequence, you multiply the "current" one by the common ratio to get the "next" so, if you divide "next"/"current", the quotient is just the common ratio,

notice, all we did was, divide the value, by the number to its left-hand-side.
