How do you figure out if tables are proportional? for example- veiw picture above

Suppose a ball is dropped fromca height of 6ft. it bounces back up but time it bounces, it reaches only 7/10 of its pervious height. what is the total of each height that the ball reaches after 5 bounces

What are “like terms”? why can we only add like terms?

Three numbers x, y, and z are in the ratio 2: 7: 8. if 12 is subtracted from y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in the order x, y–12, z). find x, y, and z. there are 2 sets.
