Aball is dropped form a height of 100 inches. the ball bounces, each time reaching a lower and lower height. the height of each bounce is 75% of the previous bounce. what height will the ball reach after bouncing four times? how many bounces does it take for the ball to reach a height of less than one inch?

75% of a number is as much as 3/4 of the same number, so:

1st bounce: 3/4 * 100 = 75
2nd bounce: 3/4 * 75 = 56,25
3rd bounce: 3/4 * 56,25 = 42,1875
4th bounce: 3/4 * 42,1875 = 31,640625
5th bounce: 3/4 * 31,640625 = 23,73046875
6th bounce: 3/4 * 23,73046875 = 17,7978515625
7th bounce: 3/4 * 17,7978515625 = 13,348388671875
8th bounce: 3/4 * 13,348388671875 = 10,01129150390625
9th bounce: 3/4 * 10,01129150390625 = 7,508468627929688
10th bounce: 3/4 * 7,508468627929688 = 5,631351470947266
11th bounce: 3/4 * 5,631351470947266 = 4,223513603210449
12th bounce: 3/4 * 4,223513603210449 = 3,167635202407837
13th bounce: 3/4 * 3,167635202407837 = 2,375726401805878
14th bounce: 3/4 * 2,375726401805878 = 1,781794801354408
15th bounce: 3/4 * 1,781794801354408 = 1,336346101015806
16th bounce: 3/4 * 1,336346101015806 = 1,002259575761855
17th bounce: 3/4 * 1,002259575761855 = 0,7516946818213909

Answers:

After bouncing four times, the ball will reach a height of 31,640625 inches.
The ball will reach a height of less than one inch after 17 bounces.

PS: I know it's kind of a walk-around, by it still gives us the answer :)

Answer from: Quest

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
