Let w represent weight here.  Then 0.05w = 300 lb.
                                  300 lb
Solving for w,   w = ------------- = 6000 lb (3 tons)
                                   0.05

ANSWER

x = 1.6

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

- 0.5x - 2 = 2x - 1 - 6

Group similar terms to obtain:

- 0.5x - 2x =  - 5 - 1 + 2

Simplify similar terms,

- 2.5x =  - 4

Divide both sides by -2.5

x =  \frac{ - 4}{ - 2.5}

x = 1.6

Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 2/3 and whose first term is 7​
motikmotik

Answer:

The 8th term of the sequence is 896/2187.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the 8th term of a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 2/3 and whose first term is 7.

We can write a direct formula. Recall that the direct formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

\displaystyle x_{n} = a\left(r\right)^{n-1}

Where <em>a</em> is the initial term and <em>r</em> is the common ratio.

Substitute:

\displaystyle x_{n} = 7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{n-1}

To find the 8th term, let <em>n</em> = 8. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x_{8} &= 7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{(8) - 1} \\ \\ &= 7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{7} \\ \\ &= 7\left(\frac{128}{2187}\right) \\ \\ &= \frac{896}{2187} = 0.4096...\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the 8th term of the sequence is 896/2187.
