Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

8(4-x)=7x+2

Distribute

32 - 8x = 7x+2

Add 8x to each side

32 - 8x+8x = 7x+8x+2

32 = 15x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

32-2 = 15x +2-2

30 = 15x

Divide by 15

30/15 = 15x/15

2 = x

A boat rental shop rents paddle boats for a fee plus an additional cost per hour. The cost of renting different numbers of hours

mylen [45]

The independent variable is that whose values do not take into account the values of other variables. That is the time in hours for this item. Then, for the dependent variable, the answer would be the cost of renting. The value of the dependent variable is based on the changes done in the values of the independent variable.

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s i

kicyunya [14]

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.

block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2

block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3

block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4

block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5

and so on.

Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2$

Now,

$1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016$

which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.

In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224$

numbers, and their sum is

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400$

This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of $1+9\times2=19$ .

So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.
