Answer:
first one: x<9 second: x<3.5 or 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
first: substract 3 from both sides
second: substract 5 and then divide by 2
The ratio is common, so you could write:
a1 * r^4 = a^5 (you do r^4 because there are 4 times you need to multiply by the ratio to get from a1 to a5)
Plug in the values:
3 * r^4 = 48
Divide by 3:
r^4 = 16
Take the fourth root of both sides:
r = 2
The common ratio is 2.
Its already written as a decimal but it can be 8 1/2
I can't see the picture, can you please explain the problem in the comment bar below this so can edit my answer to help?
If you’re using distributive property you’re answer would be... -6x+12 hope I helped !
