We know the formula,
t =n =ar
n−1
Here n=8
Common ratio =−2 and first term =a=−6
t =8
=(−6)×(−2)
8−1
t =8
Use this formula
=(−6)×(−2)
7 t= 8
=768
I think…
0=2 : no solutions
2=2 : infinite solutions
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of nickels. Then the number of quarters is 36-n. The difference is ...
(36-n) -n = 8 . . . . . 8 more quarters than nickels
18 -n = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 2
14 = n . . . . . . . . add n-4 to both sides
There are 14 nickels in the jar.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The problem supplies more information than is needed for a solution. You can work this as a "sum and difference" problem, as we have above, or you can work it as a "mixture" problem where the total coin value comes into play. Any two of the three given relations will give a solution.
n + q = 36 . . . . . . . number of coins
5n +25q = 620 . . . value of coins (in cents)
q -n = 8 . . . . . . . . difference in number of coins
We need more info to solve sorry
