IDK. I looked up the answer but i couldn't find it. I'm on UsaTestPrep and they gave me the same question.
The solution step by step. 43 comes from adding all the given numbers together.
Answer:
a = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.4a + 3 = 7
subtract 3 from each side
-0.4a + 3-3 = 7-3
-.4a = 4
Divide each side by -.4
-.4a/ -.4 = 4/-.4
a = - 10
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.
The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.
The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.
For example, all of these are equal:



They are all equal to
.
So we are saying:

More formally:
.
Multiply both sides by
:

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).
So the first term is 2.
So the full thing for the answer is:


Not unless the digits in each period are also in the same order. That is, the digit in each PLACE must be the same.
