So what we do first is find out the cost per foot which is 305÷154=1.9805194805194805195
Then we find out the area of the second rug which is 288 feet and multiply that by the cost 1.9805194805194805195. We then get 1.9805194805194805195x288=570.38961038961038961
Answer:
Move all terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve.
x = −2
The next term is double the previous term, so that the 
-th term is given recursively by
This rule tells us that
and so on, with the explicit rule
for 
.
If 512 is the 
-th term in the sequence, then
