This 2 step equation is a pain -8×+4=-52

6

Step-by-step explanation:

4-52=48

48÷8=6

this is correct :)

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x+4=-52

First remove the four by subtracting 4 from -52

-8x= -56

Then, you would want the variable (x) by itself, so you divide by -8 (Dividing a negative by a negative makes a positive)

x=7

To confirm this answer is right, plug in 7 as the variable and make sure you get -52

(-8*7)+4= (-52)

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
