Z = -2/3a
divide by -2/3 on both sides
a = z divided by -2/3
a = -3/2z
So in a proportion 23.4 over 5.49 equals 1 over o and multiply 5.49•1=23.4o
5.49=23.4o divide by 23.4 on both sides and that equals 4.26 per oz
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

It was given that:

and

The common difference is

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

Expand to get,

The explicit rule is
