1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 3.5(x - 2)
We need to use the distributive property to simplify this.
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 3.5x - 7
<em><u>Subtract 1.5x from both sides</u></em>
6 - 3 = 2x - 7
<em><u>Simplify left side</u></em>
3 = 2x - 7
<em><u>Add 7 to both sides</u></em>
10 = 2x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 2</u></em>
x = 5
When expanding number, we should separate the numbers according to the places like the number 275 written in expanded form 200+70+5. So, in this question we must likely done like this. The number is 39,005 the sum that is written on expanded form is 30,000+9,000+5.
They should charge $40 per membership, and they will make a maximum revenue of $2400
The fifth term of the geometric sequence would be 0.972
