Mathematics

egoroff_w [7]3 years ago

Answer:

-1/3 or 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Second term = ar, the third = ar^2 and the fourth = ar^3.

So we have the equation:

ar + ar^2 = 6ar^3

r + r^2 = 6r^3

6r^3 - r^2 - r = 0

r(6r^2 - r - 1) = 0

(3r + 1 )(2r -1) = 0

r = -1/3, 1/2.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

60% more.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you know 50 divided by 2 is 25, so add that to 50 to get 75. then you need to add ten more so you divide 50 by 5. so then 25+5 is 30 and 30 is 60% of 50 so it is marked up by 60% more.
