This sequence starts with an initial set; let’s call it s1. This set contains 20 cans, and every set following would have two less cans than the last set. So,
s1=20
s2=s1-2=18
s3=s2-2=16
•
•
•
s9=s8-2=4
How many cans in the display represents the value of each set added together, so we can denote this as
s1+s2+s3+...+s9
and replacing with values:
20+18+16+...+4 = 108
The number of cans in the display equals 108.
(The set notation seems weird, but by practicing this application now, the Calculus version will seem easier.)
Where is the Question? or am i just blind
Answer: How many greeting cards he sells
Step-by-step explanation:
The cards are 5 dollars each. 1.99 for shipping is all the same. The only thing that changes is the amount that he sells. So the amount of Greeting cards sold is the dependent variable.

bd:cd=7:2
if cd is 5 cm then cd=2:5 then ab=3:x
2:5=3:x
15=2x
x=15/2
x=7.5 cm</span><span>
