13 because you do 18-8 and you get 10 and divide that by 2 and you get 5 then add 5 to 8 and you get 13 and subtract 5 from 18 and you get 13 as well. Hope that helps

Since it's geometric, the ratio between the second and first term is equal to the ratio between the third and secons term.

So, x/18 = 8/x
x^2 = 144
So, x can be either 12, or -12

When 35 ÷ 7, the quotient would be 5, while 35 would be called the dividend, and 7, the divisor. I hope this helps

−(7 − 2x) + 7 = −7 solve for x

jekas [21]

First, remove the parentheses

-7+2x+7=-7

Cancel the equal terms.

2x+7=0

Subtract 7

2x= -7

Divide both sides by 2

Final answer is:

X= -3.5
