If x is the first number in the progression, and r is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then the first four terms in the progression are

\{x,xr,xr^2,xr^3\}

We want to have

\begin{cases}xr^2-x=12\\xr^3-xr=36\end{cases}

In the second equation, we have

xr^3-xr=xr(r^2-1)=36

and in the first, we have

xr^2-x=x(r^2-1)=12

Substituting this into the second equation, we find

xr(r^2-1)=12r=36\implies r=3

So now we have

\begin{cases}9x-x=12\\27x-3x=36\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac32

Then the four numbers are

\left\{\dfrac32,\dfrac92,\dfrac{27}2,\dfrac{81}2\right\}

Answer:

Based on this screenshot, this is a Test. Do the test no your own, and if you're unsure what the answer is you can come back to it later or just pick random. If you get it correct or incorrect most tests like this will change their difficulty level to see what types of problems you can and cannot answer. This is so your teacher can see what you know about math and what you may need help learning about.
