miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sf n^{th} \ term =3n}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find common difference from subtracting any term in the sequence with the previous term.

$\large{\sf 6-3}=3$

Apply nth term formula.

$\large{\sf a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

$\large{\sf d=3 \ \ a_1=3}$

$\large{\sf a_n=3+(n-1)3$

$\large{\sf a_n=3+3n-3$

$\large{\sf a_n=3n}$

Jace has consumed 1,500 calories so far today. He has also burned off 400 calories at the gym. He would like to keep his daily c

Ghella [55]

Answer:

800 calories

Step-by-step explanation

Jace wants his total to be: 1,900

He consumed: 1,500

He burned: 400

How much is left: ?

Your equation would look like: 1900=1500-400+x

First step is to add like terms so: 1500-400= 1100

Now you subtract the calories Jace has gained with the total he wants to achieve: 1900-1100= 800

The amount he needs to gain is: x=800

1,100 is not aa viable solution because he want to keep his calory intake at 1,900, and 1,100 is the total for the calories he already consumed and burned while at the gym.

Hope this made sense!
