Answer:

Sam is 12, sam's brother is 19, and sam's mom is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

First the equation you need to use is S+7+S+3S-4=63(the variable s represents Sam), you combine the like terms which then equals 5S+3=63, then you use inverse operations. Subtract 3 on both sides, 5S=60, then you divide on both sides which equals S equals 12. Then you just plug in the number, S is Sam which means Sam's 12. Then 12+7 which is 19, Sam's brother. Then 3 times 12 minus 4 is 32. And if you check to make sure, 12+19+32 does equal 63.

What is the sum of the first 6 terms of this geometric sequence? –4, –16, –64, –256, …
MatroZZZ [7]

a_1=-4;\ a_2=-16;\ a_3=-64;\ a_4=-256;\ ...\\\\r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\to r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\to r=\dfrac{-16}{-4}=4

The formula of the sum of a geometric sequence:

S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}

We have:

a_1=-4;\ n=6;\ r=4

substitute:

S_6=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-4^6}{1-4}=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-4096}{-3}=-4\cdot\dfrac{-4095}{-3}=-4\cdot1365=-5460

Answer: C. -5460
