I believe that X would be -2.47619.
First you distribute the -1 in front of the parenthesis. Then distribute the 8 outside of the bracts. And finally just solve for X by combing like terms.
Distribute -2(x - 3)
4x - 2x + 6 = 10 + -9
Simplify
2x = -5
x = -2.5
Answer:
90-24=76°
Step-by-step explanation:
____________________
The answer for either field being harvested is 6.25 days (acres/(rate of harvest))
The answer is probably seven because, even though a day can be divided into parts, the fields are done the seventh not the sixth. (I'm assuming the problem calls for whole days)
Assuming the series is

The series will converge if

We have

So the series will certainly converge if

, but we also need to check the endpoints of the interval.
If

, then the series is a scaled harmonic series, which we know diverges.
On the other hand, if

, by the alternating series test we can show that the series converges, since

and is strictly decreasing.
So, the interval of convergence for the series is

.
