If 4(x + 2) = 36, then x =​

7

Step-by-step explanation: use algebra to solve this. 4(x+2)=36

4x+8=36

4x+8-8=36-8

4x=28

x=7

Hope this helps

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
