Explicit Formula
Just in case you don't know what this is, the explicit formula is the formula that solves for any term in the series without necessarily knowing what came before the term you are solving.
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
d = t_(n + 1) - t_n You can take any term and the next term for this part of the formula
d = t_3 - t_2
t_3 = 1
t_2 = -7
d = 1 - - 7 = 8
a = -15
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = a + (n - 1)*d
t_n = -15 + (n - 1)*8
For example find the 5th term.
t_5 = - 15 + (5 - 1)*8
t_5 = - 15 + 4 *8
t_5 = -15 + 32
t_5 = 17 Which is what you have.
Recursive Formula
Computers really like this formula. They use it in what is called a subroutine and they pass values from one part of the program to a subroutine which evaluates the given and sends the result back. I'm telling you all this so you see why you are doing it. The disadvantage of it for humans is that you must know the preceding term to use the recursive formula.
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = t_(n - 1) + d
<em><u>Example</u></em>
t_6 = t_(6 - 1) + d
t_6 = t_5 + 8
t_6 = 17 + 8
t_6 = 25
You can check this by using the explicit formula.
The solutions to the equation
are 3 and -5.
<h3>What is the solution to the equation?</h3>
To solve any equation is to find the solution of the given equation which satisfied the equation.
The given expression is 
let u = (x +2)
then the equation becomes

by factorizing, we get
(u + 3)(u - 5) = 0
u + 3 = 0, u = -3
u - 5 = 0, u = 5
Since, u = x + 2
So, x + 2 = 5, x = 3
x + 2 = -3, x = -5
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are 3 and -5.

Answer:
148-13=135
4x+13= - 3.25
6x+2 = - 0.33
Step-by-step explanation:
1) SIMPLE SUBTRACTION
148
- 13
---------
135
---------
2)
4x+13=0
4x= - 13
x= -13/4
x= - 3.25
3)
6x+2 = 0
6x= -2
x= -2/6
x = -0.33
ok so if 2/3 of her class went and thats 60 then what is half of 60?
30
1/3 of her class represents 30 kids and 1/3 is missing
and 60+30=90
there are 90 kids. hope this helps
