Answer:

  an = 5n -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Try the offered formulas with n= 1 and see which gives you the first term of the sequence.

<u>an = -2n +3</u>

  -2(1) +3 = 1 . . . . not -2

<u>an = -2n +7</u>

  -2(1) +7 = 5 . . . . not -2

<u>an = 5n +3</u>

  5(1) +3 = 8 . . . . not -2

<u>an = 5n -7</u>

  5(1) -7 = -2 . . . . this is the formula you want

_____

If you recognize the common difference of the sequence to be 5, then you can automatically eliminate any formulas that don't contain 5n.

20 points!! Pls help
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

<h3>(-4, 1)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

-x-3=y, therefore x = -y-3

-3x - 8y = 4

Find the value of y

Substitute the x in -3x - 8y = 4 with -y-3

We get

-3·(-y-3) - 8y = 4

3y + 9 - 8y = 4

-5y = 4-9

-5y = -5

<h3>y = 1</h3>

_______________

Find the value of x

x = -y-3

x = -1-3

204, 200,196,... find the 31st term
rewona [7]

Answer:

31st term = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

204, 200,196,...

Find:

31st term

Computation:

204, 200,196,...

First term a = 204

Difference d = a3 - a2

Difference d = 196 - 200

Difference d = -4

An = a + (n-1)d

A31 = 204 + (31-1)(-4)

A31 = 204 - 120

A31 = 84

A and B are complementary angles. If A = (x – 23)° and m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

∠ B = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90° , then

x - 23 + 2x + 29 = 90 , that is

3x + 6 = 90 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 84 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 28

Then

∠ B = 2x + 29 = 2(28) + 29 = 56 + 29 = 85°
