First term is -7, so a_1 = -7
To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4
So d = 4 is the common difference.
Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4
Answer: Choice A
I think it’s the third one I’m srry if u get it wrong sksk
The answer is d.61. 66+7=73. 13+8=21. 52+9=61. 10+10=20
14 = 9 - x
First, subtract 9 from both sides.
14 - 9 = (9 - 9) - x
5 = -x
Now divide both sides by -1.
5/-1 = -1/-1x
-5 = x
The answer is x = -5.
If they proportional, it implies
(x+2)/(x-1) = 8/10
Or 10x +20 = 8x-8
Or 2x = -28 or x = -14
