An=a1+d (n-1)
a1= 7
find d
Let's use a2
a2=1
1=7+d (2-1)
1=7+d
-7 both sides
d=-6
explicit formula is
an=7+-6 (n-1)
a14=?
a14=7-6 (14-1)
a14=7-6×13
a14=7-78
a14=-71
Answer: b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
4b + 5 = 1 + 5b
<u>Subtract 4b on both sides</u>
4b + 5 - 4b = 1 + 5b - 4b
5 = 1 + b
<u>Subtract 1 on both sides</u>
5 - 1 = 1 + b - 1
