Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since KN is the perpendicular bisector, that means ∠KNM = ∠KNQ = 90° and MN = NQ so therefore, since they are right triangles, ΔKNM ≅ ΔKNQ because of HL. Therefore, KM = KQ by CPCTC so:
5x - 3 = 3x + 9
2x = 12
x = 6

SEQUENCE: 6, 18, 54, 162
18/6 = 3
54/18 = 3
162/54 = 3
then, r (common ratio) = 3

RECURSIVE RULE: r = 3
an = a(n - 1) × r [formula]
ANSWER: an = a(n - 1) × 3
_________________________________________
ITERIATIVE RULE: r = 3, a1 = 6
an = a1 × r^(n - 1) [formula] [ ^(n-1) is an exponent]
ANSWER: an = 6 × 3^(n - 1)
Answer:
(D)
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 66
