Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is

r = 9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 243 ÷ 81 = - 3

The recursive formula is of the form

$a_{n}$ = r $a_{n-1}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Answer:

Hey there! The answer to your question will be below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to your question is 12x - 24=60

So we know that 12x will be the number of cookies.

It says that she kept two boxes for herself, and than she took away 24 boxes which will leave us with 60.

Here is the work:

12 (x-2)= 60

12x-24=60

So the answer should be 12x -24 = 60

Hope this helps!

It's a hexagon.

The formula of the sum of internal angles in the polygon:

$S=(n-2)\cdot180^o$

Therefore

$112^o+133^o+128^o+100^o+120^o+x^o=(6-2)\cdot180^o\\\\593^o+x^o=720^o\ \ \ \ |-593^o\\\\x^o=127^o$
