We know that
an=[a(n-1)]*2+3
if a7=125 
a) Find a1

step 1
find a6
a7=a6*2+3--------> a6=(a7-3)/2-----> a6=(125-3)/2----> a6=61

step 2
find a5
a6=a5*2+3--------> a5=(a6-3)/2-----> a5=(61-3)/2----> a5=29

step 3
find a4
a5=a4*2+3--------> a4=(a5-3)/2-----> a4=(29-3)/2----> a4=13

step 4
find a3
a4=a3*2+3--------> a3=(a4-3)/2-----> a3=(13-3)/2----> a3=5

step 5
find a2
a3=a2*2+3--------> a2=(a3-3)/2-----> a2=(5-3)/2----> a2=1

step 6
find a1
a2=a1*2+3--------> a1=(a2-3)/2-----> a1=(1-3)/2----> a1=-1

the answer is
a1=-1

The first Answer is five because four times five plus ten is 30 and fives times six is 30

The second answer is X equals 3 because if you plug in 11x for y then add that to the existing x you get 12 and if you divide 36 by 12 you get 3

Which number below best represents a credit of $17.16?
PIT_PIT [208]
B. 17.16 represents a credit of $17.16; "credits" mean that you're receiving something, so it's added. A is incorrect because it shows the money being taken away and that isn't what a credit does. C and D aren't even the same amount of money in the question, so they aren't your answer either.
