The formula for perimeter is P=2l+2w where P is perimeter, l is length and w is width. P=54 inches and l is 15 inches but we do not know the value of w. Let's replace the letters with their number
P=2l+2w
54=2(15)+2w
54=30+2w  let's group like terms or numbers that are similar. 54 and 30 have no letters attached to them and so are the similar. So let's move 30 to the right side. Since 30 is positive on the right side, subtract it from both sides of the equation.
54-30=30+2x-30
24=2w
24/2=2w/2
12=w Therefore the width is 12 inches.

What is the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence? 2, -4, 8, -16, ​
Marianna [84]

Answer:

the answer is f(x) = n*(-2)

ratio is the wrong word to use, it is for contolled variation in probability. a sequence is controlled by what is known as a function - f(x) is the symbol for a function

Step-by-step explanation:

the following number of the previous one in the sequence is derived by the function f(x)=n*(-2)

2 x -2 = -4 (positive x negative = negative)

-4 × -2 = 8 (negative x negative = positive)

8 x -2 = -16 (positive x negative = negative)

so in the sequence, the trend of -,+ double will go on
