Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = -3x + 6
add 3x
5x + 1 = 6
subtract 1
5x=5
Divide by 5
x=1

SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: State the number of outcomes possible for three tossing of a coin
Since a coin has two possible outcomes and is tossed three times, the total outcomes will be:
STEP 2: Find the number of sample spaces for the three tosses
STEP 3: Get the outcomes of the events for which the second toss is tails
Hence, the answers are given as:
Sample Space:
The event that the second toss is tails:

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.
Answer:
Piper's claim is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2(-3)+2) = 5(-3)+6
3(-6+2) = -15 + 16
-18 + 6 = 1
-12 = 1
