8 0

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set the two given expressions equal to each other (because the problem says they are interchangeable)

-5x = -40+3x

2. Subtract 3x from -5x to have x on one side of the equation.

-8x = -40

3. Divide each side by -8 to get the value of x.

x = 5

Determine whether the sequence is geometric. If so, find the common ratio. 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 24.0
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is geometric if each term  (after the first one) is equal to the term before it times some constant number, called the 'common ratio'.

Examples:  1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... has a common ratio of 2 because 2*2 = 4, and 4*2 = 8, and so on.

                 Also, -->  4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4/ 1/8, ... has a common ratio of 1/2 because

4 * 1/2 =  the next term 2, and 2 * 1/2 = the next trem 1/4, and son on.

In this case, 3 * 2 = 6

                    6 * 2 = 12

                    12 * 2 = 24

The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2
