Step-by-step explanation:
this is clearly not a linear sequence (the terms don't have the same difference).
so, it has to be a geometric sequence.
the common ratio is r.
s2 = s1 × r
16 = 64 × r
r = 16/64 = 1/4
control :
s3 = s2×r
4 = 16 × 1/4 = 4
correct.
The cups of water should be:
2 x 12 = 24 ( cups of water )
Only one because the angles must add up to 180 degrees
So in distributive property you multiply the outside number by the two inside so in this case 2(a) + 2(-2) = 3(a) + 3(-5)
Which will give you
2a+ - 4 = 3a + - 15
Or
2a-4=3a-15
Then if your solving for a your can subtract 3a from 2a giving you
- a-4=-15
Then add 4 to - 15
-a =-11
Then divide by negative 1 (this is so a isn't negative)
A=11
Hope this helps!
