Let's take x as the amount of pumpkins she have left

x=6
2×x=2x
=6×2
=12(after Anna gave me half of what she had)

12×2=24(what Anna had at first)

hope it helps! sorry if the answer is wrong

X- the number of pumpkin she had initially
she gave you x/2
x-x/2=x/2
(x/2)/2=x/4(she gave Coral)
x/2-x/4=x/4
x/4=6
x=24

Find the geometric sum: 40 + 20 + 10 + … + 0.078125

sveticcg [70]

$S=40+20+10+\cdots+0.078125$
$S=40\left(1+\dfrac12+\dfrac14+\cdots+\dfrac1{512}\right)$
$S=40\left(1+2^{-1}+2^{-2}+\cdots+2^{-9}\right)$

$2^{-1}S=40\left(2^{-1}+2^{-2}+2^{-3}+\cdots+2^{-10}\right)$

$\implies S-2^{-1}S=40\left(1-2^{-10}\right)$
$\implies\dfrac12S=40\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)$
$\implies S=80\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)=\dfrac{5115}{64}=79.921875$

Evaluate the expression, when x = 3.2x + 4(x - 2)a910ObocOd118

love history [14]

The initial expression is:

2x + 4(x - 2)

Replacing x by 3, we get:

2(3) + 4(3 - 2)

6 + 4(1)

6 + 4

The value of the expression is 10
