Idon't need a step by step i just want to double check my answer with someone else's.
the difference of 5 times a number and 8 is 27. which equation below can be used to find the unknown number?

a) (8 - 5) - n = 27
b) 8 - 5n = 27
c) 5n - 8 = 27
d) 8 + 5 - n = 27

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

∠cbe and ∠deb are same-side interior angles.

i took the test

this answer is !
