Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is:
<em>Lola says: Argos, my dog, has 10 kilograms less than Roco. How much kilograms Argos has?</em>
<em />
This problem is about algebraic language. We just need to express the ordinaty language into an equation.
We know the words less means difference. So, let's call Argos' weight and
Roco's weight. We can expresse the given problem as
Notice that we applied a difference due to the word "less" in the problem.
Therefore, Argo's weight is given by the expression
Answer:
= 8 - 11n
Step-by-step explanation:
These are the terms of an arithmetic sequence with n th term
= a + (n - 1)d
where a is the first term and d the common difference
here a = - 3 and
d = - 14 - (- 3) = - 14 + 3 = -11, thus
= - 3 - 11(n - 1)
= - 3 - 11n + 11
= 8 - 11n
