You need to provide a screenshot or recreation of the rest of the problem's information.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of an infinite geometric series is expressed according to the formula;
where;
a is the first term of the series
r is the common ratio
If the sum of an infinite geometric series is three times the first term, this is expressed as 
Substitute into the formula above to get the common ratio r;
open the parenthesis
subtract 3 from both sides
<em>Hence the common ratio of this series is </em><em></em>
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
