Yeah, mostly is has to be negative, but in some cases a is greater than 1 than we do some other operations.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the recursive formula an = an−1 + 5

Suppose if a_5 is the nth term then previous term is a_4
To get the previous term we need to subtract 1 from the n
So a_n is the nth term
is the previous term
Here 5 represents the common difference between two terms
So value of previous term is represented by

Answer : 
Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends. Represent them by x and y (in pounds). Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb) Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300. Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200, so y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb den x = 5-10/3, or x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.
