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

If x=4 and y=5 and z=-2 what is the answer for this equation: 3x + 1
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We only need to pay attention to the x. We multiply 3 and 4 to get 12. Then we add 1 to get 13.
