To find explicit formulas, you need two things. The common difference and the first term.
For example, #18
The first term = -15
The common difference = -20 -(-15) = -20 + 15 = -5
y = A + B(n - 1)
A = our first term
B = our common difference
n = the term you want to find in the sequence.
Leta plug our numbers in from #18
y = -15 + -5(n - 1)
Let's find the 4th term in the sequence.
y = -15 + -5(4 - 1)
y = -15 + -5(3)
y = -15 + -15
y = -30
3n+(4n-15)=90
3n+4n-15=90
7n=105
n=105/7
n=15
---------------------
Angle LQK is 4n-15
If n=15
Angle LQK = 4(15) - 15
= 60 - 15
= 45
1 foot is 12 inches
so 12 times 2
24
the answer is 24 inches
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 25 to both sides:


Square root both sides:
(Since a negative number multiplied by itself gives positive, there are two answers.)
