Answer:

P=3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for p, we can simply substitute his answer in place of x, changing the equation to 4(-5+p)=12. Now we just have to solve it.

1. Apply the distributive property. We can do this by multiplying 4 by -5 and p. Our equation is now -20+4p=12

2. Add 20 on both sides. Since the 20 is negative, we would add it on both sides, canceling out the -20 and leaving us with the equation 4p=32.

3. Now divide 12 by 4. We want to get p alone by itself, so we divide both sides by 4, leaving us with the solution p=3.

Hope this helps! :D

hmm

an=a1(r)^(n-1)
r=common ratio
a1=first term
we are given that the first erm is 49
and we notice we multiply the previous term by 3 to get the next term


therefor
a1=49
r=3
the explicit rule is
a_n=49(3)^{n-1}
