If n stands for the smallest number, then the second and third number would be (n + 1) and (n + 2)

Write the equation based on what are given
the sum of three numbers = 72
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72

Then, solve the equation
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72
3n + 3 = 72
3n = 72 - 3
3n = 69
n = 69/3
n = 23

The smallest number is 23

Katarina [22]
60 2cm candy prices can fit because if you multiply 8.2 by 15 it equals a decimal and if you divide it by 2 that the nearest whole number you’ll get is 60, so the answer has to be 60.

Help me please this is late
Fudgin [204]

To find explicit formulas, you need two things. The common difference and the first term.

For example, #18

The first term = -15

The common difference = -20 -(-15) = -20 + 15 = -5

y = A + B(n - 1)

A = our first term

B = our common difference

n = the term you want to find in the sequence.

Leta plug our numbers in from #18

y = -15 + -5(n - 1)

Let's find the 4th term in the sequence.

y = -15 + -5(4 - 1)

y = -15 + -5(3)

y = -15 + -15

y = -30
