Answer:

a_8=38

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term a_n is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

a_n=a_{n-1}+5

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

a_8=a_{7}+5

We can see a_{n-1} is the previous term. It means we need a_7 to be able to compute a_8. But we also need a_6 to compute a_7 and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, a_5=23.

a_6=a_5+5=28

a_7=a_6+5=33

a_8=a_7+5=38

a_8=38

Which value makes the equation<br>3x - 6 = 36 true?<br>a) 10<br>b)12<br>c)14<br>d)16​
ioda

Answer:

C) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 6 to both sides:

3x - 6 (+6) = 36 (+6)

3x = 36 + 6

3x = 42

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 = (42)/3

x = 42/3

x = 14

c) 14 is your answer.
