Ooh, fun
geometric sequences can be represented as

so the first 3 terms are



the sum is -7/10

and their product is -1/125

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get

note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as

subsituting -1/5 for ar

which simplifies to

multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for


so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2




so

or

use them to solve for the value of a


try for r=2 and 1/2

or

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²=

it works
for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²=

it works
both have the same terms but one is simplified
the 3 numbers are

,

, and
Well the answer would be 120=120 and 68=68

Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Flip your eq. x/3 + 6 = 18.
Solve (Number on one, variable on other)
+6 -6 = 0. 18-6=12.
Multiply.
12 * 3 = 36.
