I know number 15 is right
Let <em>a</em> be the first term in the sequence. If <em>r</em> is the ratio between consecutive terms, then the second term is <em>ar</em>, the third term is <em>ar </em>^2, the fourth is <em>ar</em> ^3, and so on, up to the <em>n</em>-th term <em>ar</em> ^(<em>n</em> - 1).
So the third, fourth, and fifth terms are such that
<em>ar</em> ^2 = 18
<em>ar</em> ^3 = 27
<em>ar</em> ^4 = 81/2
Solve for <em>a</em> and <em>r</em> :
(<em>ar</em> ^3) / (<em>ar</em> ^2) = 27/18 => <em>r</em> = 3/2
<em>ar</em> ^2 = <em>a</em> (3/2)^2 = 9/4 <em>a</em> = 18 => <em>a</em> = 8
Then the <em>n</em>-th term in the sequence is
<em>ar</em> ^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 9 (3/2)^(<em>n</em> - 1)
You can rewrite this by first rewriting 9 = 3^2, then
9 (3/2)^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 3^2 * 3^(<em>n</em> - 1) / 2^(<em>n</em> - 1) = 3^(<em>n</em> + 1)/2^(<em>n</em> - 1)
7b-6(11-2b)=10
The first step is to distribute. Multiply each number inside the parentheses by -6.
7b + (-6*11) + (-6*-2b) = 10
7b - 66 + 12b = 10
Now combine like terms.
19b - 66 = 10
Add 66 to both sides.
19b = 76
Divide both sides by 19.
b = 4
The answer is b = 4.
