We have to mutiply factor -2/3 times every agument from the parenthesis.

/+8b
8+6b=-4 /-8
6b=-12 /:6
b=-2 - its the answer
Is the 10 taking away 5 or was it meant to me 10.5 ?
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
No, because 8 - 1 ≠ 27 - 8. So, there is no common difference which is needed in order for the sequence to be arithmetic
Answer: a = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a square based pyramid is given as
.
where a is the length of the side and h is the height.
Substituting into the formula , we have
V = 
128 =
/3
384=
X 6
Divide through by 6
384/6 = 
64 = 
Therefore :
a = 
a = 8
Area= base + base / 2 then multiply the height.
Example: 6+7 /2*6= 39
