In a geometric sequence dividing any term by the term before it yields the common multiplier.
Then x/(x+8) = (3x-8)/x
Solving for x: reduces to x^2-10x +16 factor into (x-2)(x-8)
Then x = 2 or 8
2 produces a sequence of -2, 2, -2 ...
8 produces a sequence of 4, 8, 16 ...
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
It has been going down by 6 because 24-6=18 and 18-6=12.
Answer:
Positive exponent
Step-by-step explanation:
Like x root 1 , 2 , 3 etc
If it said negative exponent then x root -1, -2 etc etc.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equal number of hours be represented by variable H;
The two equations will be as follows;
Jack; 40 +30H
Mark; 50 +25H
Next, equate them;
40 + 30H = 50 + 25H
30H - 25H = 50 - 40
5H = 10
H =10/5
H = 2hrs
Therefore, they charge the same amount at 2 hrs.
B.) The amount charged;
Replace the variable H in any of the two equations above with 2 to solve for the amount.
Equation 40+30H = 40 + (30*2)
=40 + 60
= $100
