3 + 4x - 3x = 4 Given
3 + (4x - 3x) = 4
3 + x = 4 Combine like terms
3 - 3 + x = 4 - 3
x = 1 Subtraction Property of Equality
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
The answer is 64 took the test
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
1 + 4 = 5 so we get 1 4 5
then 4+5 = 9, 1 4 5 9
5+9 = 14, 1 4 5 9 14
9+14 = 23, so
1 4 5 9 14 23
23 is the 6th number in this sequence
