Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x, and we have equation:</u>
- 16x + 2 = -7x - 21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the row of the first matrix to the column of the second matrix





simplifying them we get

Notice that if you go forward, the common ratio is 5. Each new term is found by mult. the previous term by 5.
If, on the other hand, you go backwards (terms decreasing), then you divide a term to find what the previous term was.
Here, divide 1 by 5 to find the first term. It's 1/5.
