Answer:

Explanation:
The
th term of an arithmetic sequence is explicitly defined as
where
is the first term of the sequence and
is the the common difference.
From the given first five terms of the sequence we can see that the first term is
so
.
The common difference,
, can be calculated by
so we'll find the common difference of the given sequence by letting 
.
Now let's plug everything we know.



1. 1,728
2. You can't tell because it doesn't say the amount one serving will serve, and how many servings she is serving, and how many people come to her party. Sorry!!
I hope I helped with the first one!
Y=6x (1)
y=5x-7 (2)
Substitute y into (2)
(6x)=5x-7 -- subtract 5x from both sides
x=-7
Sub x into 1
y=6(-7)
y=-42
x=-7
y=-42
The answer is 2 1/2. Because you need to cross cancel then you take the "freeway", and you get 5/2 and simplified is 2 1/2.And since half equals .5 it would be 2.5 just in case you also needed decimal.
Hope I Helped!!!!!!!!!!
