A contractor bought 7.6 ft2 of sheet metal. She has used 3.5 ft2 so far and has $123 worth of sheet metal remaining. The equation 7.6x−3.5x=123 represents how much sheet metal is remaining and the cost of the remaining amount. How much does sheet metal cost per square foot?

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

cost per square foot of sheet metal = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sheet metal bought = 7.6 ft2

Total sheet metal used = 3.5 ft2

Given equation:

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

Where,

x = cost per square foot

7.6x − 3.5x

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

4.1x = 123

x = 123 / 4.1

x = $30

Cost per square foot = $30

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
