Answer:
a₇ = 2.375
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is
r =
=
=
= - 
This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 152 and r = -
, then
= 152
, so
a₇ = 152
= 152 ×
= 2.375
Mulitply second equation by 2 and add to first
3y+2z=12
<u>2y-2z=18 +</u>
5y+0z=30
5y=30
divide 5
y=6
sub back
y-z=9
6-z=9
minus 6
-z=3
times -1
z=--3
x=-3
y=6
