Let x = the number

3.5x = x + 0.5
3.5x - x = 0.5
2.5x = 0.5
x = 0.5/2.5
x = 0.2

therefore the number is 0.2

Consider the sequence following a minus 8 pattern: 9, 1, −7, −15, ….

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: -287

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pattern: 9, 1, -7, -15, ….

We observe that ,

First term : a=9

Common difference between the terms= 1-9=-8

For Arithmetic sequence , the formula to find the nth term is given by :-

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Then, 38th term will be :-

$a_{38}=9+(-8)(38-1)\\\\=9-8(37)=9-296=-287$

Hence, the 38th term of the sequence.= -287
