9. 31 + 5 = 36
10. 16 - 4 = 12
12. 9
13. 44 + 34 = 78
14. 101 - 1 = 100
15. -539 ???

17. |-435| = 435
(3x-9) +(x+19)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34
2x+(2x+10)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34
yes they are similar

Answer: 375</h3>
=========================================
Work Shown:
a = 300 = first term
r = 60/300 = 0.2 = common ratio
We multiply each term by 0.2, aka 1/5, to get the next term.
Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric sum formula below
S = a/(1-r)
S = 300/(1-0.2)
S = 300/0.8
S = 375
----------
As a sort of "check", we can add up partial sums like so
- 300+60 = 360
- 300+60+12 = 360+12 = 372
- 300+60+12+2.4 = 372+2.4 = 374.4
- 300+60+12+2.4+0.48 = 374.4+0.48 = 374.88
and so on. The idea is that each time we add on a new term, we should be getting closer and closer to 375. I put "check" in quotation marks because it's probably not the rigorous of checks possible. But it may give a good idea of what's going on.
----------
Side note: If the common ratio r was either r < -1 or r > 1, then the terms we add on would get larger and larger. This would mean we don't approach a single finite value with the infinite sum.
Answer:$72.00
Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume you do 5×8×1.5 which equals 60. Then you multiply 60 by 1.20 to find your total cost. Answer is 72
(6+2*3)/(9-7)^2
(6+6)/(2)^2
12/4
3
Final answer: 3
Remember to simplify within parentheses first and then divide the two values in the end.
