A supermarket finds that the number of boxes of a new cereal sold increases each week. in the first week, only 16 boxes of the c

ereal were sold. in the next week, 33 boxes of the cereal were sold and in the third week 50 boxes of the cereal were sold. the number of boxes of cereal sold each week represents an arithmetic sequence. what is the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n? ​​ an=17n+33 ​ an=17n+1 an=17n−1 an=17n−33

For this case, the arithmetic sequence is given by:
 an = 17n-1
 Let's check it:
 First week:
 n = 1:
 a1 = 17 (1) -1
 a1 = 17-1
 a1 = 16
 Second week:
 n = 2:
 a2 = 17 (2) -1
 a2 = 34-1
 a2 = 33
 Third week:
 n = 3:
 a3 = 17 (3) -1
 a3 = 51-1
 a3 = 50
 Answer:
 
the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n is:
 
an = 17n-1

can some one explain to me how fractions work who ever explains it well gets brainliest, adding, subtracting, multiplying, divid
Ludmilka [50]
Adding: When adding fractions, you want to make sure that the denominator is the same for both fractions. If they are already the same, just add both the numerators to get the answer. For example,
\frac{3 }{5}  +  \frac{1}{5}  =  \frac{4}{5}
If the denominator is different in both fractions, you have to find the least common denominator, or LCD. The LCD is the smallest number that both denominators can multiply into. For example, say you need to find
\frac{1}{6}  +  \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of (1/3) by 2 to get (2/6). This way, the denominators are the same and you can find the answer.
\frac{1}{6}  +  \frac{2}{6}  =  \frac{3}{6}
In the case that one denominator does not go into the other, find the smallest number they both multiply into. For example,
\frac{1}{3 }  +  \frac{1}{4}
Here, the smallest number that both 4 and 3 multiply into is 12. Multiply both fractions by the correct amount to make both denominators 12. It would then become
\frac{4}{12}  +  \frac{3}{12}  =  \frac{7}{12}
Subtraction: follow the same rules as addition, except subtract the numerators instead of adding them.

Multiplication: multiply both numerators and both denominators.
\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{4}{5}  =  \frac{8}{15}
Division: Flip one of the fractions and multiply.
\frac{2}{3}   \div   \frac{4}{5}
Becomes
\frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{10}{12}  =  \frac{5}{6}
Hope this explains it all. Let me know if you have any questions :)

N + 4 > -9
Sav [38]

Answer:

n>-13

Step-by-step explanation:

so you subtract 4 from -9 then since your not multiplying or divinding by a negative you don't flip the sign
