Answer:
X=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4+6+4+7+X+(X+1)+8+2/8=5
31+X+(X+1)/8=5
40=31+X+(X+1)
9=X^2+X
X=2.5
309/17 equals about 18.176 but it’s a rounded answer/decimal.
Essentially this is asking you to sum the first three values of the geometric series that starts with i being 1 and has the rule of (
).
Since we must sum the first <em>three </em>geometric values we need to see what the value of i will be for the first three. The sigma notation shows us that the first i will be equal to 1. This means the second i is 2 and the third i is 3.
Knowing this you can plug in the corresponding i values into (
) and sum it all together
(
) + (
) + (

(

(

(8) + (2) + (

10 + 
10.5

Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding fractions, you must ensure the denominator is the same in both fractions.
In this case, the 3 can be multiplied by 2 to equal 6, the other denominator.
When multiplying fractions to create a common denominator, you must multiply the both the numerator and the denominator by the same value, to ensure that the fraction is still equivalent.
2/3 × 2/2 = (2×2)/(3×2) = 4/6
Replace 2/3 with its equivalent 4/6.
Now you will add the numerators together.
1/6 + 4/6 = (1+4)/6 = 5/6
Your final answer is 5/6
