Answer:

± 60

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹

a₇ = 30 = a₁ * r⁷⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁶     (1)

a₅ = 120 = a₁ * r⁵⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁴     (2)

(1)/(2): 30/120 = 1/4 = r²

r = ± 1/2   or ± 0.5

a₁ = a₇/r⁶ = 30/0.5⁶ = 1920

a₆ = 1920 * (± 1/2)⁶⁻¹ = 1920 * ± 1/32 = ± 60

Name a number that has the same absolute value as 23
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: A number with the same absolute value of 23 is -23.

Explanation: The absolute value of a number is how far it is from zero, and the absolute value of a number is always positive, unless the number is 0, in which case the absolute value is neutral, and the absolute value is 0.

Examples: 6 is 6 away from zero, so the absolute value of 6 is 6.

−6 is 6 away from zero, so the absolute value of −6 is 6.
