Common ratio means that you will be multiplying from the first number to get the second number.
To find the ratio we will work backwards, from right to left, and divide instead of multiply.
-43/-21.5 = 1/2
-86/-43= 1/2
-182/-86 = 1/2
r = 1/2
Answer:
The value of x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
- Expand 12(x-2) = 12x - 24
- Expand 1/2(x+6) = 1/2x + 3
so the equation becomes
simplifying
multiplying both sides by 2
subtracting x from both sides
divide both sides by 29
simplifying
Therefore, the value of x = 2
