x=2y

x+y=51

<u>Substitution</u><u>:</u>

2y+y=51

<u>Formula</u><u>:</u>

2y+y=51

3y=51

y=17

x=2y

x=2(17)

x=34

<u>Proof</u><u>:</u>

x+y=51

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?<br> 36, 24, 16...
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The formula to find the nth term of the given sequence is 54 · \frac{2}{3} ^{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for nth term of an geometric progression is :

a_{n} = \frac{a_{1}(r^{n})}{r}

In this example, we have a_{1} = 36 (the first term in the sequence) and

r = \frac{2}{3} (the rate in which the sequence is changing).

Knowing what the values for r and a_{1} are, now we can solve.

a_{n} = \frac{a_{1}(r^{n})}{r} = \frac{36 (\frac{2}{3} ^{n}) }{\frac{2}{3} } = 54 · \frac{2}{3} ^{n}

Therefore, the formula to find the nth term of the given sequence is

54 · \frac{2}{3} ^{n}
