Answer:
1. (i) 7, 21, 63, 189
(ii) 20, 10, 5, 2.5
2. (i) n²+n (where n = 1, 2, 3, ..)
(ii) 8/(10^n) (where n = 1, 2, 3, ..)
(iii) 1/(n+1) (where n = 1, 2, 3, ..)
Make a system of equations and solve for each variable.
3m+8v=53
5m+2v=26
m= movie cost
v= game cost
multiply the bottom equation by 4(combination method)
3m+8v=53
20m+8v=104. Subtract
-17m = -51
m= 3
Plug back into one of the equations
5(3)+2v=26
15+2v=26
2v=11
v=5.5
m=$3
v=$5.5
15

Answer: 9/100</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
There are 3 pink marbles out of 10 total (we can see that 2 yellow + 3 pink + 5 blue = 10 total)
The fraction 3/10 represents the probability of pulling out a pink marble at random. Since the first one is put back, this means the fraction 3/10 stays the same on the second draw as well.
We use the idea mentioned in the hint to multiply the fractions:
(3/10)*(3/10) = (3*3)/(10*10) = 9/100
The probability of pulling two pink marbles in a row is 9/100, where the first marble is put back.
Effectively, if you were given 100 tries at doing this, you should expect about 9 of those times you get 2 pink marbles in a row.
