Answer:
Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
If the sequence was geometric, each term would be multiplied by the same multiplier to get to the next one. We can check if the multiplier is the same by taking a term and dividing it by the term before it. For example,
-4/3.5=-1.14285714
-7.5/-4=1.87500
The multiplier between the terms aren't the same so it's not geometric.
For arithmetic, the distances between each term would be the same, and we can take the same idea from the geometric sequence, but use subtraction instead of division
-4-3,5=-7.5
-7.5-(-4)=-3.5
Again, the distances aren't the same, so it's not arithmetic.
It is 1,998 bigger than 2.

Answer:
- 19 ≤ 19 . . . true
- 19 < 19 . . . false
- x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A) A number cannot be less than itself, but can be equal to itself.
In each case, the left side of the inequality evaluates to 19:
4(5) -1 = 20 -1 = 19
It is true that 19 is less than or equal to 19. This is true because 19 = 19.
It is not true that 19 is less than 19. A number cannot be less than itself.

B) 5x +2 = 47
5x = 45 . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5
The element 9 from the set is the solution to the equation.
