In these types of problems, the first step is to combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same exponent (power), and the same variable (like all x's). In the above equation, we can combine -5x, 2x and -3y. Let's do it:
The next step would be to factor out the common ratio, which is not applicable here, so your answer would be -6x + 7y. Hope this helps!

Answer:
The explicit form is
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit form of a geometric sequence is given by:
where an is the nth term, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio.
In this case:
a=162
The value of the common ratio is obtained by dividing one term by the previous term.
For the first and second terms:
108/162=2/3
For the second and third terms (In order to prove that 2/3 is the common ratio)
72/108=2/3
Therefore:
r=2/3
Replacing a and r in the formula:
