A6 = -8
a15= -62

There are (15 - 6) terms in between, therefore 9 terms in between.
-8 to -62 ... there is a difference of 54
54 ÷ 9 = 6
Therefore it gets -6 each term.
a6 = -8, a7= -14, a8 = -20 ......

That's an arithmetic sequence. To find the rule of the sequence, we need to find the first term (a₁) and the difference of the sequence (d)

Make an equation system based on what are given by the question.
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)

a₆ = a₁ + d(6 - 1) = -8
a₆ = a₁ + 5d = -8 (first equation)

a₁₅ = a₁ + d(15 - 1) = -62
a₁₅ = a₁ + 14d = -62 (second equation)

Solve the equation to find the value of a₁ and d
Using elimination method, find the value of d from first equation and second equation
a₁ + 14d = -62
a₁ +  5d =   -8
-------------------- -   (substract)
        9d = -54
          d = -54/9
          d = -6

Using subtitution method, find the value of a₁. Subtitute d with -6 from the first equation.
a₁ + 5d = -8
a₁ + 5(-6) = -8
a₁ - 30 = -8
a₁ = -8 + 30
a₁ = 22

Determine the rule of the sequence
General rule for arithmetic sequence is
an = a + d(n - 1)

Now input the value of a₁ and d to the general rule, then simpllify.
an = a + d(n - 1)
an = 22 + -6(n - 1)
an = 22 -6n + 6
an = 28 - 6n

The rule of the sequence is 28 - 6n

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 195. Find the three integers.
Anettt [7]
Good afternoon, 

x= first odd integer 
x+2 = second odd integer
x+4= third intenger

The sum of the trhree integer is 195, so:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 195
3x = 195 - 4 - 2
3x=189
x= 63

Then the Answer is: 63, 65 and 67

vodomira [7]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

so this is (base times hight)

(bH)

42=7x

you didvide 7 from both sides

42 divided by 7 is 6

so basically its 6

because that would be your base thats what you are missing

then its just baseically (BH) (7 times 6)= 42

if this is wrong im so sorry I just learned this good luck
