M + 5n = 7
subtract 5n from each side
m = -5n + 7
The correct answer would be C :^)
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
lets take x as the number
so
6(x-3)=x-3
since it says "6 times" we know that we will have to multiply the difference by 6 and it says the difference of a number and 3 is equal to 3 less than the number so we know that we are subtracting 3 from x
6x-18=x-3
6x-x=18-3
5x=15
x=3
Answer:
an = 115 + (n - 1) (-6)
a25 = - 29
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the definition for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:
an = a1 + (n - 1) d
a5 = 91 = a1 + (5 - 1) d
91 = a1 + 4 d
a20 = 1 = a1 + (20 - 1) d = a1 + 19 d
1 = a1 + 19 d
now we subtract term by term one expression from the other
90 = 4 d - 19 d
90 = - 15 d
divide both sides by -15 to isolate d
d = 90 / (-15) = -6
Now we can calculate what a1 is using for example:
1 = a1 + 19 d
1 = a1 - 114
add 114 to both sides:
115 = a1
Then our general expression for the sequence is:
an = 115 + (n - 1) (-6)
We can now use it to calculate the value of a25:
a25 = 115 + (24) * (-6) = -29
