Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables according to the rules of exponents.
Students are given 3 minutes to complete each multiple-choice question on a test and 8 minutes for each free-response question.
There are 15 questions on the test and the students have been given 55 minutes to complete it. A Table titled Test Time, showing Number of Questions, Time per Item in minutes, and Total Time in minutes. The first row shows Multiple Choice, with m, 3, and 3 m. The second row shows Free Response, with 15 minus m, 8, and x. The third row shows Total, with 15, blank, and 55. Which value could replace x in the table? 7 – m 23 – m 8(15 – m) 8(15) – m

Answer:
= n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is
0 - (- 1) = 0 + 1 = 1
1 - 0 = 1
2 - 1 = 1
3 - 2 = 1
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 1 and d = 1, thus
= - 1 + n - 1 = n - 2
