Answer:
An equivalent fraction is 5/6

In order to find this, divide both parts of the fraction by 7.
35/7 = 5
42/7 = 6
Now we can put this back together as a fraction.
5/6
500 = 10x + 2 * 15 * 5 + 15x
500 = 25x + 150
500 - 150 = 25x
350 = 25x
x = 14
Triangular ends: 14 * 10 = 140
Base rectangle: 14 * 15 = 210
side rectangles: 5 * 15 * 2 = 150
140 + 210 + 150 =
Geometric sequences go up due to a common ratio. Here the common ratio can be worked out by dividing a term by its previous term e.g term 2 divided by term 1.

Therefore the common ratio is 6.
