Answer:
<em>y=-6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Geometric Sequences</em>
Any given sequence is said to be geometric if each term 
can be obtained as the previous term 
by a constant value called the common ratio.
or equivalently
Looking closely at the sequence 2, y, 18,-54, 162 we can try to find out if it's a geometric sequence or not. We compute the possible common ratios
and we see they both result -3. If we use r=-3 and try to find the second term (y), then
y=2*(-3)=-6
Now we compute the third term: (-6)(-3)=18
Since we got the third term as given in the original sequence.
So y=-6

Answer:
23.44
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(38°) = x/30
x = 30·tan(38°) ≈ 23.4386
x ≈ 23.44
7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2
The number is most likely -7/2
Subtract 2.2 from 7 and that will be equal to w
