Answer: The total cost of the desk including sales tax will be lower at store A by about $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate each store price:

Total cost : desk price x(1+ tax rate in decimal form ( divided by 100))

A = 289.99 (1+7/100) = 289.99 ( 1.07) = $310.28

B = 299.99 (1+ 6.5/100) = 299.99 ( 1.065) = $319.48

Since cost B is higher, we have to subtract cost A to cost B to obtain the price difference:

319.48 -310.28 = 9.19 = about $9

So, The total cost of the desk including sales tax will be lower at store A by about $9.

Find a1 and d for an arithmetic sequence with these terms. a3=-8 and a7=32
Arte-miy333 [17]
We know that
the formula for the <span>arithmetic sequence is
</span><span>an = a1 + (n - 1)*d
where
a1  is the first term
n is the numbers of terms

for n=3   a3=-8
-8=a1+(3-1)*d-----> -8=a1+2*d-----> equation 1

for n=7   a7=32
-32=a1+(7-1)*d----> -32=a1+6*d----> equation 2

multiply equation 2 by -1-----> 32=-a1-6*d------> equation 3

add equation 1 and equation 3
</span>-8=a1+2*d
32=-a1-6*d
----------------
24=-4*d------> d=-6
-8=a1+2*(-6)    (substitute the value of d in equation 1)
-8=a1-12-----> a1=-8+12-----> a1=4

the answer is
a1=4
d=-6
