For a geometric sequence with common ratio

, we have

that is, the

-th term in the sequence is the product of the previous term and the common ratio

. So

Then the sum of the first 7 terms is


Notice that

so we can subtract this modified sum from

to get

We're told that

and

, so the sum of the first 7 terms is
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is change in y over change is x and as y goes down 5 x goes up 3
so -5/3 is the slope
hope this helps :)
Answer: -7y+8x
Step-by-step explanation: I assume you mean to simplify
Step 1: Remove parentheses : -4y - x - (3y - 9x)
Step 2: -(3y - 9x) = -3y + 9x
Step 3: Simplify: -4y - x - 3y +9x
Step 4: Answer: -7y+8x
