5x - 8x +9 = -6(x +3)

see explanation

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

yes. we do proportions in probabilities.

a.for lorena 14 hours makes $126   for 16 hours she makes 144

for julie 6 hours makes $72 for 21 hours its $252

b. julie makes more money than lorena julie makes $12 an hour and lorena makes $9  

.

y∈r, 8> y≥0

hope i !

p.s the first bit only matters if you know what that means.

p.p.s brainliest would really
