Answer:
6x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y - 10 = 0
4x - 3y - 2 = 0
add the two equations
2x + 3y - 10 = 0
4x - 3y - 2 = 0
--------------------
6x -12 = 0
add 12 to each side
6x -12 +12 = 0+12
6x =12
divide by 6
6x/6 =12/6
x =2
To find the common ratio, divide the 2nd term by the first term
-16 / 32 = -0.5....this means u multiply each number by -0.5 to find the next number
8 * -0.5 = -4 <==
-4 * - 0.5 = 2 <==
2 * -0.5 = -1 <==
