Answer:
<h2>d(4) = 64</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
d(1) = 13
d(n) = d(n - 1) + 17
where
n is the nth term
To find the 4th term we must first find the second term use it to find the 3rd term and use the 3rd term to find the 4th term
So we have
<u>For the 2nd term</u>
That's d(2)
We have
d(2) = d(2-1) + 17
d(2) = d(1) + 17
But d(1) = 13
d(2) = 13 + 17 = 30
<u>For the 3rd term d(3)</u>
That's
d(3) = d(3 - 1) + 17
d(3) = d(2) + 17
d(3) = 30 + 17 = 47
<u>For the 4th term that's d(4)</u>
We have
d(4) = d(4 - 1) + 17
d(4) = d(3) + 17
d(4) = 47 + 17
We have the final answer as
<h3>d(4) = 64</h3>

The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are
(x + 3), (x + 5), and (x + 7).
Their sum is x+3 + x+5 + x+7 = 3x + 15
But we're told that their sum is 42, so we can write
3x + 15 = 42 <== the equation
Subtract 15 from each side: 3x = 27
Divide each side by 3 : x = 9 <== the solution
So the three ages are 12, 14, and 16.
The oldest child is 16 years old.
