−4(m+3)=24
What does m=

m= -9

Step-by-step explanation: First use distributive property, -4(m) is -4m and -4(3) is -12. Then you have -4m -12 =24. Then use 12 and add it to the other side of the equation, cause of the subtraction sign, 12+24=36. Then you have -4m=36. Then divide the 4 to get the m by its self. 36 divided by -4 is -9. Your answer is m=-9

Hope this helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
