The number of counties in state a and the number of counties in state b are consecutive even integers whose sum is 114. if state a has more counties than state b, how many counties does each state have?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2x represent countries in B

2x+2 represent countries in A

Solving for x

2x+2+2x=114

4×+2=114

4×=114-2

4×=112; x=28

Recall that B=2×=56

A=2x+2=58

i would pic false cause it goes down towards negative

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
