Answer:
1. 15
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)
The nth term of a GP is;
Tn = ar^(n-1)
Where;
a = first term
r = common ratio
For the first sequence;
The common ratio r is
r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6
r = 6
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 90 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
90 = a × 6
a = 90/6
a = 15
First term = 15
2. The sam method applies here.
Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4
r = 4
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 32 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
32 = a × 4
a = 32/4
a = 8
First term = 8
Answer: 12k + 5

Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
so y/3 - 9 = 12, add 9 on both sides and you get y/3 = 21. Then you multiply both sides by 3, y/3 * 3, the 3's cancel out, 21 * 3 = 63. You get y = 63
So basically just do + 9 on both sides then *3 on both sides (do it step by step)
