Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the youngest child
Let x + 1 = the age of the middle child
Let x + 2 = the age of the oldest child
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 39
3x + 3 = 39
3x = 36
x = 12 years
an = a1+ d(n-1)
a1 =14
an=206 when n=25
206 = 14 + d (25-1)
206 = 14 + d * 24
subtract 14 from each side
192 = 24d
divide by 24 on each side
d=8
The common difference is 8
A is definitely the answer.
Answer:
r = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio r is the ratio of a term to the preceding term, that is
r = 126 ÷ - 18 = - 882 ÷ 126 = - 7
