54, 36, 24 are the 1st 3 element of a geometric progression with 2/3 as a common ratio: PROOF:
the 1st term is 54, (a₁= 54) the 2nd term a₂ = 24, then
(a₂ = a₁.r) or 36 = 54.r → r= 36/54 = 2/3. Same logique for the 3rd term.
So 2/3 is common ratio. We know that :U(n) = a.(r)ⁿ⁻¹. Then if a =54 and r = x (given by the problem), then f(x) = 54.xⁿ⁻¹
n, being the rank of any element of this geometric progression
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
2+2 = 4
4+4 = 8
8+32= 40
1. -2(3x+4)
because -2 times 3= -6 and 4+4=8
Answer:X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 12 = 42
-12. -12
6x=30
6x. 6
X=5
Check
6(5)+12=42
30+12
42
