6y – 5 = –3(2y + 1) please solve

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

First, distribute the right side:

Add 6y to both sides. The right cancels:

Add 5 to both sides. The left cancels:

Divide both sides by 12:

Reduce:

And we're done!

Steps to solve:

6y – 5 = –3(2y + 1)

~Distribute left side

6y - 5 = -6y - 3

~Add 5 to both sides

6y = -6y + 2

~Add 6y to both sides

12y = 2

~Divide 12 to both sides

y = 1/6

Best of Luck!

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
