Answer:
c=6 They sold a total of 114 cans
Step-by-step explanation: The ratio is 7:12, so last week, he sold 42 cans, meaning that you need to divide 42 by to get 6 in order to figure out the amount Ellen sold last week. Then do 6 times 12 to get 72 cans sold for Ellen. Add 72 to 42 to get 114 cans sold in total.
Answer:
X would have to equal 6. To work it out, you subtract 4 from each side to cancel out the 4. -x = -6. You have to make -x just x so you × each side by -1. You get x = 6.
For a geometric sequence or geometric series, the common ratio is the ratio of a term to the previous term. This ratio is usually indicated by the variable r. Example: The geometric series 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, . . . has common ratio r = 2.
Remember the rules of PEMDAS
1. First you want to evaluate the parentheses. (4-1) = 3
2. Square:
3^2 = 9
3. Multiply: 9*2 = 18
Your answer is C
