What is the answer for -2a - 5 > 3

a<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2a-5>3

-2a>8

a<-4

You switch the inequality sign around when you divide both sides by a negative number.

a<−4

Step-by-step explanation: −2a−5>3

Add 5 to both sides.

−2a>3+5

Add 3 and 5 to get 8.

−2a>8

Divide both sides by −2. Since −2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

a<  

−2

8

​  

Divide 8 by −2 to get −4.

a<−4

Hope that helped u :)

see explanation

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
