In January Todd was able to lift 127 1/2 lb. In February he could lift 135 lb, and in March he could lift 142 1/2 lb. If he continues at this rate what will Todd be able to lift in July?

172 1/2 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the rate of change per month = lifts lifted in march - lift lifted in February

142 1/2 - 135 = 7 1/2

Determine the number of months from march to July = 4

increase in weight he would be able to carry in 4 months = 7.5 x 4 = 30 lb

weight he would be able to carry in april = 30 + 142 1/2 = 172 1/2

246

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
