The first term (a) is - 18
You add 5 to get to the next term. Or you can solve it by taking any 2 consecutive terms and find their difference.
Formula
d = t4- t3
Givens
t4 = - 3
t3 = - 8
Solution 1
d = t4 - t3 Substitute
d = -3 - ( - 8) Remove the brackets
d = -3 + 8 Combine
d = 5 Difference
Remark
Find the general formula
tn = - a + (n - 1)d Substitute
So term 20 = Example
t20 = -18 + (20 - 1)*5 Combine the inside of the brackets. Remove the brackets
t20 = - 18 + 19*5 Combine 19 and 5
t20 = -18 + 95 "Subtract"
t20 = 77 Answer

Answer:
down below
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 4% of 120 = 4.8, so 120+4.8 = 124.8 cm tall
2) 12% of 6000 = 720 . 6000-720 = 5280 gallons
3) 22% of 200 = 44 . 200-44 = 156
4) 30% of 40 - 12 . 40 - 12 = $28
5) 35% of 140 = $49 . 140 + 49 = $189
