Answer: The third term is -14

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

First term = A(1) = 20, which is given

Second term
A(n) = A(n-1) - 17
A(2) = A(2-1) - 17
A(2) = A(1) - 17 .... note: second term = (first term) - 17
A(2) = 20 - 17
A(2) = 3

Third term
A(n) = A(n-1) - 17
A(3) = A(3-1) - 17
A(3) = A(2) - 17 ... note: third term = (second term) - 17
A(3) = 3 - 17
A(3) = -14

Question number 1: 5/8 (16b+24) -1/2b<br><br> Question number 2: 3/4 (16/64 + 12a) -9a
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Problem 1. <em>(19/2)b + 15</em>

Problem 2. <em>3/16</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Question number 1

5/8 (16b+24) -1/2b  =

= (5/8) * (16/1) * b + (5/8) * 24 - (1/2)b

= 10b + 15 - (1/2)b

= (20/2)b - (1/2)b + 15

= (19/2)b + 15

Question number 2

3/4 (16/64 + 12a) -9a =

= (3/4) * (16/64) + (3/4) * 12a - 9a

= (3 * 16)(4 * 64) + (3/4) * (12/1) * a - 9a

= (3 * 1)(4 * 4) + (3 * 12)/(4 * 1) * a - 9a

= 3/16 + (3 * 3)/(1 * 1) * a - 9a

= 3/16 + 9a - 9a

= 3/16
