Twice the difference of a number and 5 is equal to 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Translate

Let the number be x

Twice the number, x is

The difference between (above) and 5 is

This equals to 9.

So, the expression becomes

Solving further:

Divide through by 2

Hence, the number is 7

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
