Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1:  20; Case 2:  36

Case 1:  arithmetic sequence

The common difference is 8.  Notice that 4 + 8 = 12.

a(1) = 4; a(2) = 12; a(3) = 20; etc.

The common next term (3rd term) is 20.

Case 2:  geometric sequence

The common ratio is 3.  Notice that 4*3 = 12.

Multiplying this second term by the common ratio (3) results in the third term:  36.

What is the value of x ? <br><br> please help me!!!
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol.
