Answer:

the sum of the first 6 terms =189

Step-by-step explanation:

the first 6 terms-

96,48,24,12,6,3

I found them easily by dividing 48 with random small numbers until I got 6 for the fifth term. So here I divided 48 by 2 which is = 24(3rd term), then divided 24 by 2 which is =12(4th term) and then again decide the answer by 2 and finally got 6 for the 5th term. So the ratio is 1/2. For the first term I did the opposite, multiply 48 by 2 which is = 96. And lastly find the sixth term and add them up which is = 189

I tried my best to explain it in simple terms, hope this helps:)

9- 4(2p+3) - 8p+7<br> how do i solve this ?

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$= -16p+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we simplify:

$9-4(2p+3)-8p+7$

Then we distribute:

$=9+(-4)(2p)+(-4)(3)+(-8p)+7\\=9+(-8p)+(-12)+(-8p)+7$

Lastly, combine like terms:

$=9+-8p+-12+-8p+7\\=(-8p+-8p)+(9+-12+7)\\=-16p+4$

Hope this helps!
