You left out the 9 in the whole equation. The 1st step you had right you just forgot to put +9. 2nd step you are combining the like terms and get 11-26x=-34x+40. Step 3: you are trying to isolate the x on one of the sides. You need to switch the 11 over to the 40 and get 29. Move -34x over to -26x and get 8x. Step 4 all you are doing in dividing 8 from both sides and get 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
m - 4m = -6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Combine like terms:                    -3m = -6
- Divide -3 on both sides:              m = 2
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in m into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>m</em>:                     2 - 4(2) = -6
- Multiply:                                 2 - 8 = -6
- Subtract:                                -6 = -6
Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.
∴ m = 2 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:
Number 2: 126
Number 3: 128
Number 4: 75
Number 5: 204

To find if a series is either geometric or arithmetic:
it must satisfy this property:
Arithmetic:
a(n+1) - a(n) = const
Geometric:
a(n+1)/a(n) = const
In your case:
r1 = 7 -4 = 3
r2 = 12 - 7 = 5
r1 != r2  (not arirthmetic)
Geometric check:
r1 = 7/4
r2 = 12/7
r1 != r2  (not Geometric)
so neither.
