How about let's make this easier. Easier is better, right? Let's get rid of the fraction 2/3. We will do that by multiplying 2/3 by 3 and 1 by 3 to get the equivalent ratio of
Now we need to know how many inches there would be if the number of feet is 24:
The terms in a geometric sequence are given by: A = ar^(n-1) where A is the nth term in the sequence. a = first term in the sequence (-2) r = common ratio (-5) n = number of the term (4)
A = (-2)(-5)^(4-1) A = (-2)(-5)^(3) A = (-2)(-125) A = 250
option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We have , The given expression as Three-fourths x = negative 6 , which can be written as . Now in order to solve this equation in one step , we must notice that coefficient of x must be 1 but it's , Let's make coefficient of x as 1 by multiplying both side of equations by 4/3:
⇒

Therefore, x= -8 & correct option to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step is <u>option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).</u>
