The third term of the geometric progression will be 1 / 27 with common ratio 2 / 3.
We are given that:
2nd term of geometric progression = 1 / 18
5th term = 4 / 243
Now, we can also write it as:
2nd term = a r ( where r is the common ratio and a is the initial term.)
a r = 1 / 18
5th term = a r⁴
a r⁴ = 4 / 243
Now divide 5th term by 2nd term, we get that:
a r⁴ / a r = ( 4 / 243 ) / ( 1 / 18 )
r³ = 72 / 243
r³ = 8 / 27
r = ∛ (8 / 27)
r = 2 / 3
3rd term = a r²
a r² = a r × r
= 1 / 18 × 2 / 3
3rd term = 1 / 27
Therefore, the third term of the geometric progression will be 1 / 27 with common ratio 2 / 3.

The 2nd and 5th term of a GP are 1/18 and 4/243 respectively find the 3rd term
Solve the top equation to get on variable on one side
2x-y=6
-y=-2x+6
y=2x-6
then plug in the coordinate for x and y for both equations. if both equations are true then it’s a solution
2=2(2)+6
2=10
4+2=6
so it’s not a solution
30% because as a decimal it would be written as .30 and that is greater then .03
I hope this will help u <span>It looks like 12 is the smallest number that can be divided by both 3 and 4, so 12 is our LCD. Since 12 is the LCD, it will be the new denominator for our fractions. Now we'll change the </span>numerators<span> of the fractions, just like we changed the denominators. First, let's look at the fraction on the left: 1/4.</span>
Answer:
x=-6 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = -x - 7
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 3x - 2•(-x -7) = -16
[1] 5x = -30
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 5x = - 30
[1] x = - 6
// By now we know this much :
x = -6
y = -x-7
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -(-6)-7 = -1
Solution :
{x,y} = {-6,-1}
