A supermarket finds that the number of boxes of a new cereal sold increases each week. In the first week, only 26 boxes of the c

ereal were sold. In the next week, 57 boxes of the cereal were sold and in the third week 88 boxes of the cereal were sold. The number of boxes of cereal sold each week represents an arithmetic sequence. What is the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n?

Answer:

aₙ = 31n -  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of your sequence are.

26, 57, 88, …

This is an arithmetic sequence, because there is a constant difference of 31 between consecutive terms.

The explicit formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1 )

a₁ is the first term, and d is the difference in value between consecutive terms. Thus,  

aₙ = 26 + 31(n - 1) = 26 + 31n - 31

aₙ = 31n - 5

The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence is aₙ = 31n - 5.

Solve 30 = −5(6n + 6), justifying each step with an algebraic property.
Liula [17]
1) property of distribution: 30 = -30n - 30
2) inverse property of addition: 60 = -30n
3) inverse property of multiplication: -2 = n

step 2: subtract 30 from both sides
step 3: divide -30 from both sides
