The expression you want to simplify is 0-(x-y).
0-(x-y)
=-(x-y)
=-x+y
You just have to treat the negative sign in front of (x-y) as a -1 and distribute it to both x and -y.

Answer:
The nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the geometric sequence
7, 14, 28, ...
We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio
Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

now substituting r = 2 and a₁ = 7 in the nth term


Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

24 single felled organisms there are to 30 minute periods in each hour which produces 2 organisms that is 12 periods and 12 multiplied by 2 is 24
