Answer:

3¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence also known as geometric progression, can be said to be a sequence with a constant ratio between the terms.

Formula for geometric sequence:

a^n = a ( n-1 ) * r

Given:

First term, a1 = 30

ratio, r = ½

Required:

Find the fourth term

Where, the first term, a¹ = 30

Second term: a² = 30 * ½ = 15

Third term: a³ = 15 * ½ = 7.5

Fourth term: a⁴ = 7.5 * ½ = 3.75 = 3¾

Therfore the fourth term of the geometric sequence is 3¾

What is 6(x+3)=2(2x+5)
koban [17]

Answer:

x = -4 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

Distribution

6x+18 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x+18 = 10

Subtract 18 on both sides

2x = -8

Divided by 2

x = -4

Now if we have to substitute the value of X

6(-4+3)=2(-8+5)

Parenthesis first

6(-1) = 2(-3)

-6 = -6
