A
this is a geometric sequence since there exists a common ratio r between the terms
r =
=
=
= 3
B
to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 3
= 3
← recursive rule
C
the n th term of a geometric sequence is
=

where
is the first term in the sequence
= 7 ×
← explicit rule
Answer:
x = 129.8 degrees, y = 50.2 degrees, x + y = 180
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say you have 2 supplementary angles, x and y
So x + y = 180
if x is 79.8 degrees less than the measure of a supplementary angle, then x = y - 79.8
Putting this into our x + y = 180 equation, we get
(y - 79.8) + y = 180
2y - 79.8 = 180
2y = 180 + 79.8
2y = 259.8
y = 259.8/2 = 129.9 degrees.
so x = 129.9 - 79.6 = 50.3 degrees.
See if it worked. x = 129.9 degrees, y = 50.3 degrees, x + y = 180 so we found the correct two angles! :-)

Answer:
Crew: 32
Marty: 48
Blakely: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
I mainly just used guess and check. Crew is 32 years old. So, let's find Marty's age.
32 × 1. 5 = 48
Marty is 48. Now, let's find Blakely's age.
32 × 0.75 = 24
Add all the ages together.
32 + 48 + 24 = 104
Hope that helps.
