Since Timothy collected more, we take the amount Timothy collected and subtract the amount Eric collected from that.

That means Timothy collected .5 kilograms more candy than Eric.
3x + y = -3
Substitute y = x + 5 in the ‘y’ spot in the 3x + 7 = -3 equation
3x + y = -3
3x + x + 5 = -3
combine liked terms
4x + 5 = -3
-5 on both sides
4x = -8
/4 on both sides
x = -2
Answer:
x = -2
A formula is recursive if it expresses the term
in terms of the previous one(s) 
In this case, every term is 7 more than the previous one, so the formula for
will only involve
:

In fact, this formula is simply saying: for every index
, the term with that index is 7 more than the term before.
Also, we have to specify the starting point (otherwise we would go backwards indefinitely), so the complete recursive formula is

which means: start with 2 and generate every other term by adding 7 to the previous one.
Answer:
4, 8, 16, 32, 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is
= a₁
Given
a₇ = 256 and a₁₀ = 2048 , then
a₁
= 256 → (1)
a₁
= 2048 → (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
= 
r³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )
r =
= 2
Substitute r = 2 into (1)
a₁ ×
= 256
a₁ × 64 = 256 ( divide both sides by 64 )
a₁ = 4
Then
a₁ = 4
a₂ = 2a₁ = 2 × 4 = 8
a₃ = 2a₂ = 2 × 8 = 16
a₄ = 2a₃ = 2 × 16 = 32
a₅ = 2a₄ = 2 × 32 = 64
