Your sequence
-8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
(16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3
The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)
Is there a answer choice of -5
I believe x = 23/105 because you would have to add 3/35 to both sides and when you add 2/15 to 3/35 you get an answer of 23/105.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x=adult tickets and y=child tickets
1) 15x+11y=1889
2) x+y=147
multiply equation 1 by -1/11 on both sides to get:
-(15/11)x-y=-171.73
add new equation with equation 2 to get
-4/11x=-24.73
Isolate x to get:
x=67.99999
Round up to get 68 adult tickets
