Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we create the equation.

Let x = the unknown number

7x-1 = 5x - 8

Add 8 to both sides

7x + 7 = 5x

Subtract 7x

7 = -2x

Divide by 2

-7/2 = x

-3.5 = x

7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2

The number is most likely -7/2

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the n th term ( explicit formula ) of a geometric sequence is

• a_{n} = a_{1}(r)^{n-1}

where r is the common ratio and a_{1} the first term

here r = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{16}{32} = \frac{1}{2} and a_{1} = 64, hence

a_{n} = 64(0.5)^{n-1} → D
