Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Divide each term on the numerator by 4x

54, 36, 24 are the 1st 3 element of a geometric progression with 2/3 as a common ratio: PROOF:
the 1st term is 54, (a₁= 54) the 2nd term a₂ = 24, then
(a₂ = a₁.r) or 36 = 54.r → r= 36/54 = 2/3. Same logique for the 3rd term.
So 2/3 is common ratio. We know that :U(n) = a.(r)ⁿ⁻¹. Then if a =54 and r = x (given by the problem), then f(x) = 54.xⁿ⁻¹
n, being the rank of any element of this geometric progression
Answer:
730, 735, 740
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive multiples of 5 be, x, x+5 and x+10
Given,
x + x+5 + x+10 = 2205
3x + 15 = 2205
Subtract 15 from both sides,
3x = 2205 - 15
3x = 2190
Divide both sides by 3,
x = 2190/3 = 730
So, x= 730
x+5 = 735
x+10 = 740
