\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
n&term&value\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1&a_1&a_1\\
2&a_2&6a_1\\
3&a_3&6(6a_1)\\
&&36a_1
\end{array}\implies \stackrel{\textit{3rd term is 24}}{36a_1=24}
\\\\\\
a_1=\cfrac{24}{36}\implies  a_1=\cfrac{2}{3}

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}
\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=6\\
a_1=\frac{2}{3}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\boxed{a_n=\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 6^{n-1}}

Is 2(x - 6) = -35 equivalent to 2x = -23
rusak2 [61]
Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.

What’s 25 x s =300 what’s the equation
Aliun [14]
If I get this it should be, 25 x 12 = 300, think it as 4 x 25 is 100 so you need 3 x 100, so 4 x 3 is 12, 25 x 12 =12, hope this helps
