What is the common ratio of the sequence? -2, 6, -18, −3 −2 3 8

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the geometric sequence:

Note that

So,

From all of these equalities we can state that

r = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is geometric if a common ratio r exists between consecutive terms.

6 ÷ - 2 = - 3

- 18 ÷ 6 = - 3

54 ÷ - 18 = -3

The sequence is geometric with common ratio r = - 3

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
