    The answer to your equation would be 1.5. Don't expect me to explain it only because I did this question the other day and forgot how to solve it, but still have it written down. Your welcome.

    A = 8, a2 = 12, a3 = 18, a4 = 27, ...

    12 = r · 8 ⇒ r = 12 : 8 = 1.5

    r = 1.5. We can justify it:

    18 = 8 · 1.5² = 8 · 2.25 (true)

    27 = 8 · 1.5³ = 8 · 3.375 (true)
