R = 3S

R + 6 = 2 (S+6)

Substitute the first equation in the second one:

(3S) + 6 = 2 (S + 6)

3S + 6 = 2S + 12

S + 6 = 12

<u>R = 18
</u>S = 6<u>
</u>
Check:

R is 3 times S now.

In 6 years, R will be (18 + 6) = 24, S will be (6 + 6) = 12.

24 = 2 x 12 yay

Simora [160]

Answer:

$1+r+r^{2}+r^{3}+.....+r^{n-1} = \frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the succession:

$1+r+r^{2}+r^{3}+.....+r^{n-1}$

You can multiply and divide by 1-r without chaging the result:

$\frac{1-r}{1-r} (1+r+r^{2}+r^{3}+.....+r^{n-1})$

Distributing the upper part of the fraction you have:

$\frac{1}{1-r} (1-r+r-r^{2}+r^{2}-r^{3}+r^{3}-r^{4}+.....+r^{n-1}-r^{n})$

As can be seen all the intermediate members will be canceled by a same member with opposite sign, only $(1-r^{n})$ will be left so:

$1+r+r^{2}+r^{3}+.....+r^{n-1} = \frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}$
