Answer:
<em>y=-6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Geometric Sequences</em>
Any given sequence is said to be geometric if each term can be obtained as the previous term by a constant value called the common ratio.
or equivalently
Looking closely at the sequence 2, y, 18,-54, 162 we can try to find out if it's a geometric sequence or not. We compute the possible common ratios
and we see they both result -3. If we use r=-3 and try to find the second term (y), then
y=2*(-3)=-6
Now we compute the third term: (-6)(-3)=18
Since we got the third term as given in the original sequence.
So y=-6
Reduce the expression, if possible, by canceling the common factors.
Exact Form: 22/15
Decimal Form: 1.46

Answer:
4 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
- x * 9 4/5 = 42
- x * 49/5 = 42
- x = 42 : 49/5
- x = 42 * 5/49
- x = 30 /7
- x = 4 2/7
13/4 and 3 1/4
Hope this helps
