Answer:
97, 98
Step-by-step explanation:
a = first number
a + 1 = consecutive number
then:
a + a+1 = 195
2a + 1 = 195
2a = 195 - 1
2a = 194
a = 194/2
a = 97
a + 1 = 98
Check:
97 + 98 = 195
Answer:
m = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(5 + 6m) + 16 = -90
Start by distributing -2 inside the parentheses. This means you will multiply everything inside the parentheses (5 + 6m) by -2.
-10 - 12m + 16 = -90
Simplify the left side of the equation by combining like terms.
6 - 12m = -90
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing the variable m and to move all other terms to the other side (right) of the equation.
-12m = -96
Divide both sides of the equation by -12 to isolate and solve for m.
m = 8
This is a geometric sequence because each term is a constant multiple, called the common ratio, of the previous term. In this case the common ratio, noted as "r", is:
8/-2=-32/8=128/-32=r=-4
The first term is -2
Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.
Since we know r and a for this problem already we can say:
a(n)=-2(-4)^(n-1)
