Simonne used the following steps to simplify the given expression.
12 - 3(-2x + 4)
step 1: 12 + (–3)·(–2x) + (–3)·(4)
step 2: 12 + 6x + (–12)
step 3: 12 + (–12) + 6x
step 4: 0 + 6x
step 5: 6x
what property of real numbers was used to transition from step 3 to step 4?

b. x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

i'am smart

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

the answer to 1/4x+5/3x-4=2-1/12x is x=3

hope this if needed hmu

answer is b chief keef

get this one right
