Answer:

the value of the variable x is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

$given \: expression \\ \frac{5}{8}x = \frac{1}{2} x + 2 \\ substract \: \frac{1}{2} x from \: both \: sides \\ \frac{5}{8}x - \frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2} x + 2 - \frac{1}{2} x \\ factor \: out \: common \: x \\ x( \frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{1}{8} \\ simplify \\ \frac{1}{2} x + 2 - \frac{1}{2} x \: \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2} x = 0 = 2 \\ \frac{1}{8} x = 2 \\ multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: 8 \\ 8. \frac{1}{8} x = 2.8 \\ simplify \\ x = 16.$

By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is $\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

<h3>What is sequence ?</h3>

Sequence is collection of numbers with some pattern .

Given sequence

$a_{1}=5\\\\a_{2}=-10\\\\\\a_{3}=20$

We can see that

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2\\$

and

$\frac{a_2}{a_3}=\frac{20}{-10}=-2\\$

Hence we can say that given sequence is Geometric progression whose first term is 5 and common ratio is -2

Now $n^{th}$ term of this Geometric progression can be written as

$T_{n}= 5\times(-2)^{n-1}$

So summation of 15 terms can be written as

$\sum_{n=4}^{15} T_{n}\\\\$\\$\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is $\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

Work:
Students scoring above 80 -
9+18+72+15= 114

Students score exactly 80-
6

114/6 = 19

19 students scored above 80 for every 1 student that scored exactly 80.
