A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32

Answer:
6:10.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 : 40 + 1 : 30 = 5 : 70
because 60 minutes make an hour and on the minutes side has more than 60, we have to minus 60 minutes and carry the one hour to the other side which is the Hour side.
5 : 70........ minus 60 to get 10.
5 + 1 to get 6.
therfore it is 6 : 10
