Let x be the common ratio and y be the 3rd term

11.25/x=y     This means the fourth term divided by the common ratio will get the third term
20x=y           This means the second term multiplied by the common ratio will get the third term

11.25/x=20x        Set the two y's equal to each other, and solve for x!
20x^2=11.25
x^2=.5625
x=+-√.5625
x=.75 or -.75

__ , 20, __, 11.25

11.25 = 20 * r^(3-1)
11.25/20 = r^2
0.5625 = r^2
sqrt 0.5625 = r
0.75 = r...so common difference is 0.75 or 3/4

Find the value of x.<br> I need help please!
Blababa [14]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that exterior angles are mentioned. So let's find the interior ones. Note that the interior and exterior angles are forming straight lines. So something plus 84 equals 180 degrees.  

180-84=96

180-120=60

The sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. X is an angle. So we can form an equation to represent this. Then just solve for x!

96+60+x=180

156+x=180

     x=24

Does Y equals 3X minus to have a solution
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Graph the second equation by finding two data points. By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis. At the point of intersection of the two equations x and y have the same values.
