<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the common ratio
12/-4 = -3
r =-3
The explicit formula is
an =a1 r^(n-1)
an = -4 * (-3)^ (n-1)
We want the 18 th term
a 18 = -4 (-3) ^ 17

To find percent, you take 91 and divide it by 99.2 then multiply by 100.
(91/99.2) × 100 = 91.92%
9x-22=23+4x
Now you subtract 4x from both sides to get the variable on one side..
5x-22=23
Now solve as you would solve a 2 step equation.
5x=45
Divide both sides by 5 to get the variable by itself.
x=9
