Answer:
x=-4.67
Step-by-step explanation:
add like terms 3-17
then take x=2x-14
add 2x to both sides
3x=-14
divide by 3 and you get your answer
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
I am thinking A) Or B) because iPlease chose as best if i am wrong please don't be mad most of my stuff is correct
Answer:
y = -1x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope equation is y - y1 = m(x -x1).
You will have to plug in the points (-3, -1) and (2, -6).
y - (-1) = m (x - (-3))
To find "m", find y over x.
m = (y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1)
m = (-6 + 1)/(2 + 3)
m = -5/5
m = -1
Then plug in "m"
y + 1 = -1(x + 3)
then distribute the "m" into the parenthesis and isolate y or subtract 1 from both sides.
y + 1 = -1x - 3
y = -1x -4
