Answer:
x= 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
5*2x= 10x
5*7= 35
10x/10= x
35/10= 3.5
3.5= x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A. distribute the X to the X in the parenthesis and you get 2x. Then distribute the X to the -7 in the parenthesis and you get -7x. Combine like terms so that would be 2x-7x and you get -5x.
C. distribute the 6x to the X in the parenthesis and you get 7x. Then distribute the 6x to the 2 in parenthesis and you get 8x. Combine like terms so that would be 7x+8x and you get 15x.
E. Not sure on this one, sorry.
I can’t see the picture I’m sorry if I can’t help you
20/2.5 = 8
So 8 movies can be shown in 20 hours.

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.
