Answer:

the common ratio is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for the common ratio, I like to take the second term and divide it by the first term

15/5 = 3

then I will check the rest of the terms

15*3 = 45

45*3 = 135

It looks like the common ratio is correct!

Subtract C in both sides:
2c + 1 = 1

Subtract 1 on both sides
2c = 0

The solution is:
x = 0

3p - 2(p-4) = 7p + 6

Serggg [28]

For this case we must find the value of the variable "p" of the following equation:

$3p-2 (p-4) = 7p + 6$

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation taking into account that $+*-=-$ and $- * - = +$ :

$3p-2p + 8 = 7p + 6$

We add similar terms:

$p + 8 = 7p + 6$

We subtract $7p$ from both sides of the equation:

$p-7p + 8 = 6\\-6p + 8 = 6$

We subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

$-6p = 6-8\\-6p = -2$

We divide by -6 on both sides of the equation:

$p = \frac {-2} {- 6}\\p = \frac {1} {3}$

Answer:

$p = \frac {1} {3}$
