A) log (33)
B) log (7/9)
Use the log addition and subtraction rule
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-1 - 4)/(4 - (-3)) = -5/(4 + 3) = -5/7
First term [ a ] = 6.3
Common difference [ d ] = 8.8 - 6.3 = 2.5
Using general term formula,

78.8 = 6.3 + (n-1)*2.5
2.5*(n-1) = 72.5 [ Dividing both sides by 2.5 ]
n-1 = 29
n = 30
Hence, 78.8 is the
30th term in the arithmetic series.
You use distributive property. So (5 x 2)-(5 x x)= 10 - 5x.
