A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32

Hello,
Answer D -3<x<27
Indeed:
1)
if x-12≥0 then x≥12 and
|x-12|=x-12x-12<15 → x<27
so 12≤x<27
2) if x-12<0 then
x<12 and|x-12|=-(x-12)<15
-x+12<15-x<3 → x>-3
So -3<x<12
Thus -3<x<12 U 12≤x<27 ⇔ -3<x<27
