Answer:
d. -38
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence concepts:
The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is as follows:

In which d is the common diference between each term.
We can expand the general equation to find the nth term from the first, by the following equation:

In this question:

17th term:

So the correct answer is:
d. -38
You are basically just adding, so combine like terms.
3x^2 + 5x^2 = 8x^2
6x - 2x = 4x
4 - 8 = -4
So the answer is D.
We divide both sides by 7 which makes n alone. Which is n=m/7.
The answer would be -2
(4-10)-(8 ÷(-2))
(-6)-(-4)
-6+4
-2
