Your sequence
-8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
(16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3
The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)
3 is to 2 is the probability of drawing 4 marbles that are all blue.
5x-3=42. To solve you add three to both sides making the equation 5x=45. Then you divide both sides by five, and you get 9 as your answer.
