3, x, x+6 are the first 3 terms of G.P

common ratio is x/3=x+6/x

so we cross multiply x×x=3×x+6

ײ= 3x+18 so we have x²-3x-18

(x-6)(x+3)=0

the possible value of x are 6 and -3

b) tenth term of the seauence

first of all the possible sequence are 3, 6, 12 and 3, -3, 3

but we need only the positive GP

so the common ratio of.the GP r is 6/3=2

the 10th term of a GP sequence is ar^10-1=ar^9

where a = first time

3×2^9=3×512=1536

the 10th term is 1536

answer: 2x + 2 − 2 = 10 − 2; subtraction property of equality

step-by-step explanation:

10 you would take 50/ .2
