Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the nth term is

T_n = ar^(n-1)

a = first term

r = common ratio which can be gotten by dividing second term by first term, third term by second term etc

Therefore

a = 16

r = -3.2 ÷ 16

r = -0.2

T_7 = ar^(7-1)

T_7 = ar^6

T_7 = 16[(-0.2)^6]

T_7 = 16(0.000064)

T_7 = 0.001024

Mr. Toney gets his car washed every 15 days. Mr. Brown gets his car washed every 20 days. Today, they are both getting their car

Zinaida [17]

They both get their cars washed on every 60th day.

You can solve this equation by finding the lcm (least common multiple):

15 30 45 60 75 90 105

20 40 60 80 100

The lowest common multiple is 60 as it is the first multiple the two have in common.

So, in sixty days, they’ll both get their car washed again

Triple a number decreased by 14

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Since we know 14, but we don't know the other number, we use a variable. To do that, we look at the problem, then we figure out the unknown. The unknown is: A number. We know 14. Since "Triple" means 3, we can put the exponent 3 by X.

Therefore, the answer is $X^3-14$ .

Leena walked 2/3 of a mile What is 2/3 written as a sum of unit fractions with the denominator of nine

aliya0001 [1]

Bear in mind that multiplying anything, and anything whatsoever by 1, has a product of the anything itself.

so, let's multiply 2/3 by 1 then and check about,

$\bf \cfrac{same}{same}=1\qquad thus\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 1\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{6}{9}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we can split that and write it as a sum}\implies \cfrac{1+5}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{9}+\cfrac{5}{9}$
