The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio lesser than 1 is calculated through the equation,

                                  Sn = (a1) x (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
Substituting the known values,
                                 S5 = (6) x (1 - (1/3)^5) / (1 - 1/3) = 242/27
Thus, the sum of the first five terms is approximately equal to 8.96.

-3(_x + 4) = 9x – 12 Using the distributive property, what number would go in the blank in order for the given statement to be c
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

-3(-3x + 4) = 9x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3( Ax + 4) = 9x - 12

-3Ax -12 = 9x - 12

Equating coefficients of  x terms on both sides :

-3A = 9

A = -3

Therefore, -3(-3x + 4) = 9x - 12
