Answer:

The common ratio is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term

6/ -2 = -3

We check it by taking the third term divided by the second term

QUICK I NEED HELP PLEASE!

Assuming you meant is $- \frac{3}{5} x+ \frac{1}{5} \ \textgreater \ 720$

The answer would be :
$- \frac{3}{5} x\ \textgreater \ 719.8$

$x \ \textless \ \frac{719.8}{ \frac{-3}{5} }$
$x\ \textless \ 719.8 *( \frac{-5}{3} )$
$x\ \textless \ \frac{-3599}{3}$

Hope this helps !

mrs_skeptik [129]

Are there choices listed? If not, then we can take the information given and translate it to an equation as follows: 40m = 400. Solve for m by dividing both sides by 40 and find that Carlos ran 10 miles.
