x+9, x-6, 4 are terms in a G.P
==> x-6 = (x+9)*r ==> r= (x+9)/(x-6)
==> 4= (x-6)*r ==> r= 4/(x-6)
==> (x-6)^2 = 4(x+9)
==> x^2 - 12x + 36 = 4x + 36
==> x^2 -16x = 0
==> x(x-16) = 0
==> x1= 0
==> x2= 16
For x1= 0
==> r= 4/(x-6) = 4/6 = 2/3
==> a1= x+9 = 9
==> a2= 6
==> a3= 9*4/9= 4
==> a4= 9*8/27= 8/3
For x2= 16
==> r= 4/(x-6) = 4/10 = 2/5
==> a1= 16+9 = 25
==> a2= 25*2/5= 10
a3= 25*4/25 = 4
a4= 25*8/125 = 8/25
