Answer is -16

The common ratio in a geometric sequence is what each number is multiplied by to continue the sequence. -8 x 2 = -16

This would be the first five terms:

-4, -8, -16, -32, -64

X/3-1/2=3/4<br> contains fractions
Elenna [48]

Answer:

x= 15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting Equation

(x/3) - (1/2) = 3/4

Add 1/2 by both sides

(x/3) = 3/4 + 1/2

Find the common denominator (4)

(x/3) = 3/4 + 2/4

Add

(x/3) = 5/4

Multiply 3 by both sides to get x by itself

x = 15/4

A . y+2 = x<br> B. y+1 = x <br> C. y-1 = x<br> D. y-2 = x<br><br> what answer?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:  y = x - 2, or y+2=x

Step-by-step explanation:  The slope of the line is 1 (y increases by 1 for every x increase of 1). So we start with y = 1x + b.  b is the y intercept, which is -2.  Thus, we have y = 1x- 2.

Please help me with this question! Will mark brainliest :)
svetlana [45]

lenght :

2x - 3

breadth :

4x + 5

AREA = LENGTH × BREADTH

= (2x - 3) \times (4x + 5)

multiplying the above gives :

= 8 {x}^{2}  + 10x - 12x - 15

= 8 {x}^{2}  - 2x - 15
