m - 9 = 42
42 is our final answer so that should be by itself.
If something is being decreased by 9, that means that we are taking away 9 from something so it should be m - 9.
Answer: 243, 729
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1, 3, 9, 27, 81 is a geometric sequence where r = 3
a₁ = 1
a₂ = 1 x 3 = 3
a₃ = 3 x 3 = 9
a₄ = 9 x 3 = 27
a₅ = 27 x 3 = 81
To find the next two terms, multiply the previous term by 3:
a₆ = 81 x 3 = 243
a₇ = 243 x 3 = 729
