Answer:

x+(x+2) = 156

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 1st odd integer

x+2 = next odd integer

x+(x+2) = 156

2x+2 =156

Subtract 2

2x= 154

Divide by 2

x = 77

x+2 = 79

What is the nth term?

kumpel [21]

Let $a_k$ denote the kth term of the sequence. Then

$a_k=a_1+d(k-1)$

where d is the common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence and a₁ is the first term.

The sum of the first n terms is

$S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^na_k=a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_{n-1}+a_n$

From the formula for $a_k$ , we get

$S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n(a_1+d(k-1))=a_1\sum_{k=1}^n1+d\sum_{k=1}^n(k-1)$

$S_n=\displaystyle na_1+d\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}k$

$S_n=na_1+\dfrac{d(n-1)n}2$

$S_n=\dfrac n2(2a_1-d+dn)$

So we have $d=-5$ , and $2a_1-d=16$ so that $a_1=\frac{11}2$ .

Then the nth term in the sequence is

$a_n=\dfrac{11}2-5(n-1)=\boxed{\dfrac{21-10n}2}$

It’s a easy mathswatch questionnnnn helpppppp meeeeeeeee

Answer:

15, 6 and - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x - y = 3 , then

(a)

5(x - y) = 5(3) = 15

(b)

2x - 2y ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(x - y) = 2(3) = 6

(c)

y - x ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - 1(x - y) = - 1(3) = - 3
