4x/5+ 2 =5x/13+ 5 pls answer

7.2222...

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first, to make it easier, remove the fractions by multiplying both sides by the LCM (or 65 in this case).

Thus, we will have:

Now, simply isolate the .

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
