common ratio = a4/a3 = a3/a2
8/a3 = a3/18
(a3)^2 = 8 * 18
(a3)^2 = 144
a3 = 12 or a3 = -12
common ratio = 8/12 or common ratio = 8/(-12)
common ratio = 2/3 or common ratio = -2/3
Answer: 12 or -12
Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving this equation use the distributive property and get...
-4 (y - 2) = 12
-4y + 8 = 12
-4y = 12 - 8
-4y = 4
y = -1
