Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 8 = -3
x + 8 - 8 = -3 - 8
x = - 11
A rhombus is a 4 sided shape with equal lengths. Even though it has equal lengths, it has opposite sides that are parallel, and angles that are equal. It also has diaginols (dashed lines) meat in the middle

Answers:
- Not geometric
- Geometric
==================================================
Explanation for problem 1
Divide each term over its previous term.
- term2/term1 = 48/60 = 0.8
- term3/term2 = 36/48 = 0.75
We can stop here. The two results 0.8 and 0.75 do not match up, so we don't have a common ratio. Therefore, this sequence is <u>not</u> geometric. A geometric sequence must have each ratio of adjacent terms to be the same value throughout the list of numbers.
Side note: This sequence is arithmetic because we are subtracting the same amount each time (12) to generate each new term.
--------------------------------------
Explanation for problem 2
Like before, we'll divide each term by its previous term.
- term2/term1 = 6/3 = 2
- term3/term2 = 12/6 = 2
- term4/term3 = 24/12 = 2
- term5/term4 = 48/24 = 2
Each ratio found was 2. This is the common ratio and it shows we have a geometric sequence. It indicates that each term is twice that of its previous term. Eg: the jump from 12 to 24 is "times 2".
3/4 is 0.75 which is bigger
