Natalia paid 38.95 for three medium-sized pizzas and a salad. solve an equation to find the cost of one pizza, p, if natalia paid $11.98 for the salad.

Each pizza was 8.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the pizzas were the same cost

The total cost  is the three pizzas and the salad

Total cost = 3 * pizza + salad

38.95 = 3* pizza+ 11.98

Subtract 11.98 from each side

38.95 -11.98 = 3 * pizza +11.98-11.98

26.97 = 3 * pizza

Divide by 3

26.97/3 = 3 * pizza/ 3

8.99 = pizza

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
