Answer:

a_{n}= 1+2n and 63

Step-by-step explanation:

the question belongs to arithmetic sequence and a_{n} can be determined by the formula

a_{n}= a1 + d (n-1)

Let " a_{n} " represents the number of band members in the nth row

and 'd' represents the common difference.( as stated each row  has 2 more band members than the row before it)

therefore, d=2

'a1' represents first row that has three members. So, a1 = 3

->Rule for nth term will be:

a_{n}= 3 + 2(n-1)

a_{n}= 3 + 2n -2

a_{n}= 1+2n

-> In order to find total number of band members 'S_{7}'

Let S_{n} represent total number in n rows

We'll use the formula, i.e  S_{n} = n/1 (a_{1} +  a_{n})

where, n is the number of terms, a_{1} is the first term and a_{n} is the last term

So,

n=7

a_{7} = 1 + 2(7)= 15

=>S_{7} = 7/2 (3 + 15)

S_{7} = 63

The total number of band members are 63

9(m-3)+3m=7m+43 help me please
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

multiply 9 from m and -3

9m - 27 + 3m = 7m + 43

12m - 27 = 7m + 43

12m - 7m = 43+ 27

5m = 70 cut 70 by 5 in 14 times [ 14 x 5= 70 ]

m = 14 answer ❤️❤️ it is 100% correct now!
