For this problem, if we used b to represent your base angle measurement, you would add 8b+2b and set it equal to 180. This is because the measure of the vertex angle is 8 times the base angle measurement, so we had to multiply b by 8. We also had to add it to the other angle measures, so the other angle measures are represented as 2b since they are the same length. We then have to set this equal to 180 since that measures of a triangle must add up to 180. Then we combine like terms on our “b” side to get 10b=180. Then we divide both sides by 10 and we get b=18, which is the measure of our base angle.

Find the 110 term of the sequence -7, 3, 13, 23, ...

Evgesh-ka [11]

First, find the nth term
To do this, find the term to term difference...
A
-7 and 3 = 10
3 and 13 = 10
13 and 23 = 10

As the difference is 10, we now write out the 10 times table

10, 20, 30, 40

The next step is to work out how to get from the sequence to the 10x table
B
-7 - 10 = -17
3 - 20 = -17
13 - 30 = -17
23 - 40 = -17

Now use the answer from each section in the general formula
x = An + B
This could also be written as ?n + ?
Using our numbers, this becomes 10n - 17

Now use the formula to work out the 110th term
(10 x 110) - 17
1100 - 17 = 1083
