A sequence<span> is a set of numbers.
</span>If the difference between two consecutive terms is constant, then the sequence is called arithmetic and th<span>e difference is called the common difference.
</span><span>If the numbers in the sequence follow a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio, r, then the sequence is geometric sequence.</span>
Answer:
I would set this up as:
let: lesser number = x
greater number = 2x + 5
Restating the word problem:
lesser number + greater number = 38
x + 2x + 5 = 38
Solving: 3x + 5 = 38
- 5 -5
---------------
3x = 33
--- ---
3 3
x = 11
Substitution for the greater number:
2(11) + 5
22 + 5
27
