54, 36, 24 are the 1st 3 element of a geometric progression with 2/3 as a common ratio: PROOF:
the 1st term is 54, (a₁= 54) the 2nd term a₂ = 24, then
(a₂ = a₁.r) or 36 = 54.r → r= 36/54 = 2/3. Same logique for the 3rd term.
So 2/3 is common ratio. We know that :U(n) = a.(r)ⁿ⁻¹. Then if a =54 and r = x (given by the problem), then f(x) = 54.xⁿ⁻¹
n, being the rank of any element of this geometric progression
Each rug is 1/8 of the floor space. So, 4 rugs would cover half of the floor space. Multiply, then reduce.
4(1/8)=4/8 or 1/2

Answer: 3x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to use the distributive property, you simply multiply the number on the outside by both the number inside the parenthesis
So, in this case, we would multiply 3 by X and 3 by 5
3 times x = 3x
3 times 5 =15
Your new equation is then made by adding these two together
3x+15
Answer 3x + 15
