Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent this with an equation, where x is the first number. The next number must be x+2, because it has to be even, not x+1, and the rest continue the same way:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8) = 100

Solve for x.

5x+20 = 100

5x = 80

What is the general rule for the arithmetic sequence? 15, 12, 9, 6, … A. 3n – 18 B. 6(3 – n) C. 3n + 12 D. 18 – 3n

slavikrds [6]

A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n

Answer is choice D
