The explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

We have:

$a_1=-100,\ a_2=-70,\ a_3=-40;\ a_4=-10,\ ...\\\\d=a_{n+1}-a_n\to d=-70-(-100)=-70+100=30$

Substitute:

$a_n=-100+(n-1)(30)=-100+30n-30=30n-130$

Answer: an = 30n - 130

Inequalities are just like regular equations with only one exception. Which is when yo multiply or divide by a negative number to both sides of the inequality sign you must flip it. But, for this inequality that rule will no apply. So, what I do to make it easier because I know we all see a different sign in an equation and we start to freak out. So, change the inequality sign to an equals sign to get a hang of working with them.

Example of changing an inequality sign to an equals sign:

$x-72=21$
