Answer:

First, let's define an arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same.

Then we can write it in a general way as:

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)*d

where:

aₙ is the n-th term of the sequence.

d is the constant difference between two consecutive terms.

a₁ is the initial term of our sequence.

Now in this case we know that the first terms of our sequence are:

84, 77, ...

Then we know the initial term of our sequence:

a₁ = 84.

And the value of d can be calculated as:

d = a₂ - a₁ = 77 - 84 = -7

Then the general way of writing this sequence is:

aₙ = 84 + (n - 1)*(-7)

And the recursion relation is:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ - 7

So for the n-th term, we must subtract 7 of the previous term.

Learning task 1: find the value of the expression given the value of the variables 3x + 5 x = 2 5xy + x - 4 , x = -3 and y = 5
olasank [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5x=25xy+x-4

8x=25xy+x-4

8(-3)=25(-3)(5)+(-3-4)

-24=25(-15)+(-7)

-24= -375-7

-24= -382

if the question is right that you asked, i mean the = sign then the solution is will be come like this but if there is no = sign then you can get the solution by subtracting -24-382= -406
