The answer is -8 I believe.
To put this into an equation, we get 7x-x=-48. This is equal to 6x=-48. When we divide we get -8.
Answer:
f(n)=-5-3n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the recursive formula of a sequence
f(1)=−8
f(n)=f(n−1)−3
We are to determine an explicit formula for the sequence.
f(2)=f(2-1)-3
=f(1)-3
=-8-3
f(2)=-11
f(3)=f(3-1)-3
=f(2)-3
=-11-3
f(3)=-14
We write the first few terms of the sequence.
-8, -11, -14, ...
This is an arithmetic sequence where the:
First term, a= -8
Common difference, d=-11-(-8)=-11+8
d=-3
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is determined using the formula:
T(n)=a+(n-1)d
Substituting the derived values, we have:
T(n)=-8-3(n-1)
=-8-3n+3
T(n)=-5-3n
Therefore, the explicit formula for f(n) can be written as:
f(n)=-5-3n
Answer:
k= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
2k-3=9k+63-3 [expand the 9(k+7) first]
2k-9k=63-3+3 [put the like terms together]
-7k=63 [do the simple math]
k= 63 ÷ by -7
k=-9
Answer:
x=28
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x-5)=92
4x-20=92
add 20 to both sides
4x=112
divide 4 on both sides
x=28
D. because you have to get the price of the elastic, and ribbon and then add them together
