Answer:
Ms. Brown would need 4 eggs in order to make 1 cake, so if she has 24 eggs you would divide 24 by 4, which is 6. So, Ms. Brown could make 6 cakes with 24 eggs.
Hope this helps!

You can see it's a geometric sequence because the ratio is constant (

).
The nth term of a geometric sequence:


It has to be the sum for term 4 through term 15, so n=4 and the number above the sigma is 15.
Your answer:
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 3(3x - 6) = 5(x - 3) + 15
Expand the parenthesis:
2 + 9x - 18 = 5x - 15 + 15
Simplify:
9x - 16 = 5x
Subtract 5x from both sides:
4x - 16 = 0
Add 16 to both sides:
4x = 16
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 4
458,500 because they are 1000 apart and 500+500=1000
