ANSWER
The explicit formula is :
EXPLANATION
The given sequence is
8,11,14,17,20,23,26,...
The first term is
The common difference is
d=11-8
d=3
The explicit formula is given by:
We substitute the values to get,
10-25x=5
subtract 10 from both sides so 5-10 is -5
so now your left with -25x=-5 then divdie -25x by -5 and rememeber -5 divided by a negative is a positive and positive divided by a posivte is a positive and negavite divided by a positive is negavtive or positive divided by a negative is a negative
so when you divide -25x by -5 you get 5 so your answer is x=-5
