A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32

Answer:
table; occur; tally mark
Step-by-step explanation:
You would use a table to keep track of a distribution of data. You would have to wait for such data to occur. You could use tally marks to keep track to the data.
Hope this helps.
Sorry if it's wrong though.
A= 1/4E
B= 4E
C= E-4
D= E+4
A+B+C+D=100
25/4E=100
hence, E=16
