∑ ( from n = 1 to n =5 ) 3 · ( -2 ) ^( n -1 )
a 1 = 3 · ( -2 ) ^0 = 3
a 2 = 3 · ( - 2 ) = - 6
a 3 = 3 · 4 = 12
a 4 = 3 · ( - 8 ) = - 24
a 5 = 3 · 16 = 48
3 - 6 + 12 - 24 + 48 = 33
Answer: C ) 33
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 112 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 112 is 100%, so we can write it down as 112=100%.
4. We know, that x is 200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 112=100%
2) x=200%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
112/x=100%/200%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 200% of 112
112/x=100/200
(112/x)*x=(100/200)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
112=0.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5) to get x
112/0.5=x
224=x
x=224
now we have:
200% of 112=224
●I tried my best I was never good with percentages my least favorite.... Please let me know if you got it wrong. If you do I'm sorry.
There are many possibilities. An example is 
.
Our current equation is:
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52.
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself and then simplify what we can from there.
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52
Add 3.67 to both sides to get 2.5x by itself.
2.5x = 5.19 is now our new equation.
Divide both sides by 2.5 to get x.
5.19/2.5 = 2.07
x = 2.07
I hope this helps!
2^5*2=? I think but ok whatever
