Answer:

The smaller number is 127

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write the given problem in equation form

sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 = n + n + 1 = 2n + 1

now we find twice of the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1

2*(2n + 1) = 4n + 2

given that

twice the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 is 510

thus,

4n + 2 = 510

=> 4n = 510 -2 = 508

=> n = 508/4 = 127

Thus, the numbers are n = 127

n+1 = 127 + 1 = 128

the smaller number is 127

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

L = 50 * (-0.4)^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

r = t2/t1 = -20/50 = - 0.4

a = 50

L = 50 * (r)^(n - 1)      Let's  see if we can get the answer when n = 3

L=50 * (-0.4)^(3 -1)

L =50* (-0.4)^2

L = 50 * 0.16

L = 8 which is correct
