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
To simplify this, you would have to turn b^-2 into a positive exponent.
To do this, we have to flip b^-2, which would get rid of the negate from the exponent: -2
3a^4 b^-2 c^3 / b^-2
Then we get the answer:
3a^4 c^3
------------
b^-2
I have a picture to clarify!
I hope this helped, let me know if you don't understand! ^.^
Unless you're given the value of the variables, you can't really solve for anything. The only thing you can do is simplify.
<span>39+5h+4g-2h
The only like terms are 5h and -2h.
39 + 3h + 4g
This would be the simplified version.</span>
<span>To convert a percentage to a decimal you move the decimal two places to the left. Therefore:
15.% becomes .15
You then multiply this decimal to the number you are trying to find the percentage of.
.15 × 60 = 9.
9 is 15% of 60.

Answer:
x=12 y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the scale factor is 1:3, that means that the length and width of Q multiplied by 3 gives the corresponding length and width of P.
Similarly, the length and width of P divided by 3 gives the corresponding length and width of Q.
With this, 9/3=3, which is the value of y.
4*3=12, which is the value of x.
