Answer:
= - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term ( explicit formula ) for a geometric sequence is
= a
where a is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a = - 2 and r = 8 ÷ - 2 = - 4, thus
= - 2
Answer: x = 14/23
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x
3x-6=8-12x-8x --> Expand 4(2-3x)
3x-6=8-20x --> Collect like terms
3x-6+6=8-20x+6 --> Add 6 to both sides, to remove it from the right side
3x=-20x+14
3x+20x=-20x+14+20x --> Add 20x to both sides, to remove it from the left side
23x=14
--> Divide both sides by 23
x = 14/23
Answer:
20.4131
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to have only 4 decimal places after , last decimal being approximated
the ratio would be as follows
40:16
or
5:2
Worded there are five kids who choose to swim to every 2 kids that choose art.
this could also be written as a fraction 40/16 = 5/2
