To use the equation we need a1 and d(the common difference).
We have a1 = 57, we need to find d.
93-84 = 9; 84-75=9; 75-66=9; 66-57=9
d = 9
a350 = 57 + (350-1)(9)
a350 = 57 + (349)(9)
a350 = 57 + 3141
a350 = 3198
Product is multiplication.
Let the number = x
3 *( X+7) = -36
Use distributive property:
3x +21 = -36
Subtract 21 from each side:
3x = -57
Divide both sides by 3:
x = -57 /3
x = -19
Check: 3 * (-19 +7) = 3 * -12 = -36
The number is -19
