7 0

Answer:

x = 7 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x - 9) + 3 = -7 ---------- subtract 3 from both sides

5(2x - 9) + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3

5(2x - 9) = -10 ------ divide both side by 5

2x - 9 = -2 ---------- add 9 to both sides

2x - 9 + 9 = -2 + 9

2x = 7

x = 7 / 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ a,\ b,\ c,\ d,\ e,\ ...\ \text{is a geometric sequence, then}\ \dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{c}{b}=\dfrac{d}{c}=\dfrac{e}{d}=....\\\\\#1\\\\\dfrac{7.5}{10}=0.75\\\dfrac{5.625}{7.5}=0.75\\\dfrac{4.21875}{5.625}=0.75\\\boxed{YES}\\================================\\$

$\#2\\\\\dfrac{40}{160}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\dfrac{10}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\dfrac{2.5}{10}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\boxed{YES}\\================================\\$

$\#3\\\\\dfrac{70}{20}=3.5\\\dfrac{245}{70}=3.5\\\dfrac{857.5}{245}=3.5\\\boxed{YES}\\================================\\$

$\#4\\\\\dfrac{16.5}{13}=\dfrac{165}{130}=\dfrac{33}{26}\\\dfrac{20}{16.5}=\dfrac{200}{165}=\dfrac{40}{33}\neq\dfrac{33}{26}\\\boxed{NO}\\================================\\$
