4. Which equation is an identity?

A. 5y + 5 = 5y – 6

B. 8 – (6v + 7) = –6v – 1

C. 3w + 8 – w = 4w – 2(w – 4)

D. 6m – 6 = 7m + 9 – m

 C. 3w + 8 – w = 4w – 2(w – 4)

(3w - w) + 8 = 4w - 2w -2(-4)

2w + 8 = 2w + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6 on both sides and twelve on the top and the bottom

step-by-step explanation:

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
