Answer:

18.5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom's first carry was -5 yards and his second was +12.5 yards. If we know he finished with 26 yards we can make a simple equation to try and find the distance of his third carry. We let the letter c be a variable that represents the distance of his third carry.

(-5) + (12.5) + c = 26

This means his first carry + second carry + third carry = carry total

We can simply the left hand side

7.5 + c = 26

Now we move the 7.5 to the right side by subtracting it.

c = 26 - 7.5 \\c = 18.5

So Tom's third carry was for 18.5 yards!

Hope this helps!

common difference, d = -3

f1 = -13

An arithmetic sequence f(n) = f1 + d(n - 1)

so f(n) = -13 - 3(n - 1)

f(46) = -13 - 3(46-1) = -13 -3(45) = -13 - 135 = -148

Answer:

f(46) = - 148
