Use distributive property like -20+5h
If these are terms of a geometric sequence, they have a common ratio. That is, ...
... (k -1)/(2(1 -k)) = (k +8)/(k -1)
... (k -1)² = 2(1 -k)(k +8) . . . . . multiply by the product of the denominators.
... k² -2k +1 = -2k² -14k +16 . . . eliminate parentheses
... 3k² +12k -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form (subtract the right side)
... 3(k +5)(k -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
Possible values of k are ... -5, +1. The solution k=1 is extraneous, as it makes the first two terms 0 and the third term 8. (It doesn't work.)
The value of k is -5.
_____
The three terms are 12, -6, 3. The common ratio is -1/2.
positive number times negative number is negative number "(+)(-) = (-)".
we change the mixed numbers to the improper fractions
Answer:
17%
Step-by-step explanation:
If 30% of the school is girls and 10% wear glasses, that means that at least 3% of the school wears glasses. (10 percent of 30%) If 70% of the school is boys and 20% of boys wear glasses, at least 14% of the school wears glasses. (20% of 70%) If you add both of those numbers together it adds up to 17%.
