The temperature dropped 8 degrees between 6:00 P.M. and midnight. The temperature at midnight was 26 F. Write and solve an equation to find the temperature at 6:00 P.M.​

x = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 = dropped 8 degrees

26 = 26 degrees at midnight

x = temperature at 6

x - 8 = 26

(add 8 to both sides) x = 34

The sixth term of the sequence is:

                    +80 or -80

The 5th term of geometric sequence is given by:

We know that the nth term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common difference r is given by:

Also, we have:

and

on dividing 7th term by 5th term we get:

Hence, the sixth term of the sequence is given by:

         Hence, the sixth term of the geometric sequence is:

                +80 or -80
