Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Her former rent is $ x

Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x

$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300

2x - 300 = 550

Add 300 to both sides

2x - 300 + 300 = 550  + 300

                    2x = 850

Divide both sides by 2

               2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Her former rent = $425

Answer:

The common ratio r = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now s2 = a1r and s4 = a1r^3  where a1 = first term and r = common ratio so

s4 / s2 = a1r^3  / a1r = r^2 = 32/8

r^2 = 4

r = 2.
