(a) When the sequence is arithmetic, sequential terms have a common difference.

... x - 3 = (4x/3) - x . . . . differences of sequential terms are equal

... (2/3)x = 3 . . . . . . . add 3-(1/3)x

... x = 9/2 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2

(The arithmetic sequence is 3, 4.5, 6. The common difference is 3/2.)

(b) When the sequence is geometric, sequential terms have a common ratio.

... x/3 = (4x/3)/x . . . . . ratios of sequential terms are equal

... x^2 = 4x . . . . . multiply by 3x

... x = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by x. (the "solution" x=0 is extraneous)

(The geometric sequence is 3, 4, 16/3. The common ratio is 4/3.)

Neko [114]
The concept useful in finding the answer to this item is ratio and proportion, the ratio of the height of your friend with the shadow casted should be proportional to the height of the rock with the length of the shadow it cast. That is,
                       5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft/ 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 64 ft.
