1st term: n = 1
apply the value 1 to n in the equation:
1(1-1) - 5
1(0) - 5
0 - 5
- 5
Second term n = 2
2(2 - 1) - 5
2 (1) - 5
2 - 5
-3
Since we know the 1st term is -5 in the sequence and the second is -3, we can assume the answer is D. -5, -3, etc

The answer to your question is
, because the directions says to give the answer in factor form.
Step-by-step explanation:

Factor like terms (x - 7)(x + 1)²

Simplify
![\frac{(x+1)^{2}[3(x - 7) - 2(x+1)]}{(x-7)^{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%28x%2B1%29%5E%7B2%7D%5B3%28x%20-%207%29%20-%202%28x%2B1%29%5D%7D%7B%28x-7%29%5E%7B3%7D%7D)
Expand

Answer:
x=1.25 and y=-5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=-8, 2x=-y-8 or 4x=-2y-16. Plug this value in the second equation, we have - 2y-16-2y=6, y=-5.5. Plugging this in any equation we have, x=1.25
