An arithmetic sequence (a_n) is as follows:

where

is the first term and d is the constant difference,
thus, we see that the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence is

in our particular case d=5, the third term is 8, so we have:

and the general term is

,
Answer: first term is -2, n'th term is -2+5(n-1)
Answer:
Alex (0.95), Tonya (0.90), Wilson (0.87), Octavia (0.80)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we have to convert all of the scores into either a decimal or a fraction. In this case, I will be solving all of them into decimals since it is easier.
Alex: 0.95
Octavia: 16/20 = 0.80
Tonya: 9/10 = 0.90
Wilson: 0.87
Therefore, we can order these from greatest score to least score.
Alex (0.95), Tonya (0.90), Wilson (0.87), Octavia (0.80)
I broke it all the way day half of 51 is 25 in a half and half of 25 is 12 in half so if Jimmy lifted twice as much he may have lifted 25 in a half and bob left 12
