Answer:

Part A: 2D + 3 = A

Note: I have likely given you the answer to the whole problem. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Alan = A
  • Bruce = B
  • Cecil = C
  • Dylan = D

Comment

You have to pay the most attention to Alan and Bruce. Once you have equations for those two. Cecil's weight is just the sum of those two.

<em>Alan</em>

Alan = Twice*Dylan + 3 or

A = 2*D + 3

<em>Bruce</em>

Bruce = three * Dylan - 12

B = 3*D - 12

<em>Cecil</em>

Cecil = Alan + Bruce

C = A + B

Note

The last equation shows you how to combine the first two.

C = A + B

A = 2D + 3

B = 3D - 12

C = 2D + 3 + 3D - 12

C = 5D - 9

Julli [10]

If your sequence is this

an =   - {n}^{2}  + 2n \\ then \\ a1 =  - 1 + 2 = 1 \\ a2 =  - 4 + 4 = 0 \\ a3 =  - 9 + 6 =  - 3 \\ a4 =  - 16 + 8 =  - 8 \\ a5 =  - 25 + 10 =  - 15
