Find S8 for the geometric series 3 + -6 + 12 + -24 +…

I guess you are asking to find the sum of the first 8 terms. If so, then:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ is the 1st term, r=common ratio and n=number of terms:
the 1st term a₁ =3
common ratio r = - 2 (since -6/3 = - 2, and 12/-6 = - 2, etc.)

Sum = 3[(1- (-2)⁸]/(1-2) = 3(1- 256)/(1/2)
Sum = -1530

Answer:

$\displaystyle -5x + y = -92\:or\:y = 5x - 92$

Step-by-step explanation:

−12 = 5[16] + b

$\displaystyle -92 = b \\ \\ y = 5x - 92$

If you want it in Standard Form:

y = 5x - 92

- 5x - 5x

A. Because you would have to find the common denominator, which in this case is 24. You would change 2 1/3 to 2 8/24, 1 1/8 to 1 3/24 and 1 3/4 to 1 18/24. Add these all up and you get 5 5/24.
