<h3>
Answer: 15</h3>
===============================================
Work Shown:
d = common difference
p = first term = 24
q = second term = a+d = 24+d
r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6
------------
Solve for d
24+2d = 6
2d = 6-24
2d = -18
d = -18/2
d = -9
We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.
------------
First term = 24
Second term = 24-9 = 15
Third term = 15-9 = 6
We get the sequence 24, 15, 6
P(P then C)=(7/10)(3/12)
P(PthenC)=21/120
P(PthenC)=7/40
2/18 + 1 2/8 =
1/9 + 10/8 =
1/9 + 5/4 =
4/36 + 45/36 =
49/36 =
1 13/36 <==
