Answer:
0.42
Step-by-step explanation:
0.42857142857
Step-by-step explanation:
f×0.2 = 182 ft²
20% is a factor 0.2, as it is 20 of 100.
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
You have to multiply whats outside the parenthesis with everything that is inside, so


Multiplication of same bases we sum the exponents



Alternative B.
Use the distributive property of multiplication to simplify.
-6x + 9y + 15.
