To do this you need to work backwards. if you note the number as 'n' you can put
7n = 5600
to find n you simply divide both sides by 7 getting
n = 5600/7
n = 800
Step-by-step explanation:
-2, -8/3, -10/3, -4, -14/3
Write as multiples of 1/3.
-6/3, -8/3, -10/3, -12/3, -14/3
This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -6/3 and the common difference is -2/3.
Therefore, the recursive formula is:
aᵢ₊₁ = aᵢ − 2/3, a₁ = -2
Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x.
Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. This will be:
(3 × x) - 2 = (2 × x) + 6
3x - 2 = 2x + 6
Collect like terms.
3x - 2x = 6 + 2
x = 8.
The number is 8
