Answer:

first term a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the first 6 terms S6 = 15624

common ratio r= 5

n= 6

first term a=?

Formula: S6= a(r^n-1)/r-1

15624 = a( 5^6-1)/5-1

15624 = a(15625-1)/4

15624= a( 15624)÷4

15624= 15624a÷4

Cross multiply

15624×4 = 15624a

62496 = 15624a

divide both sides by 15624

62496÷15624 = 15624a÷15624

4 = a

a= 4

Variable c is 5 more than variable
shutvik [7]
First, let us restate the given conditions

c is 5 more than variable a ( c = a + 5)
c is also three less than variable a (c = a - 3)

Now, lets look at the answer choices and or given
c = a − 5 
c = a + 3
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified

a = c + 5
a = 3c − 3 
Here, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So,
Simplified version :
c = a - 5
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified


a = c − 5
a = 3c + 3
Here also, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So, 
simplified version:
c = a + 5
Here, c is 5 more than "a"...so we continue
c = (a - 3) / 3
Here, c is 3 less than "a" <u>divided by 3</u><u /> . So, this is not correct

c = a + 5
c = a − 3
Here, c is 5 more than "A"
Also, c is 3 less than "a"
Which satisfies the given.

 So, our answer is going to be the last one:
 
 c = a + 5
 c = a - 3
