The sequence is given as follow

,

When finding the pattern of a sequence, we can try to work out whether there is a common difference or a common ratio between each term. We try by finding a common ratio



The term to term rule is multiplied by

The

term is given

The

term is given by

A.
To solve, you need to get the variable by itself.
Order of operations:
Square root both sides.
(x-5)= plus/minus root 3, as 3 is not a perfect square.
Now you need to add 5 to both sides to get it to disappear on the side with the x.
x=root3 +or - 5, which can be rearranged so that 5 is the first term.
Answer: x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
First convert 3/4 to decimal= 0.75
0.75 (8x - 4) = 7x + 2
6x - 3 = 7x + 2
Transpose 7x from right hand side to the left hand side
6x - 7x = 2 + 3
-x = 5
x = -5
I hope this helps.
