The first term (a) is - 18
You add 5 to get to the next term. Or you can solve it by taking any 2 consecutive terms and find their difference.
Formula
d = t4- t3
Givens
t4 = - 3
t3 = - 8
Solution 1
d = t4 - t3 Substitute
d = -3 - ( - 8) Remove the brackets
d = -3 + 8 Combine
d = 5 Difference
Remark
Find the general formula
tn = - a + (n - 1)d Substitute
So term 20 = Example
t20 = -18 + (20 - 1)*5 Combine the inside of the brackets. Remove the brackets
t20 = - 18 + 19*5 Combine 19 and 5
t20 = -18 + 95 "Subtract"
t20 = 77 Answer
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
You must find the least common multiple of their schedules.
The numbers 3 and 2 are their own prime factors, so the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.
Six weekends must pass until they can both have someone over on the same night.
The number line below shows that the first time their sleepovers coincide is Week 6.

Simplify terms, then move the terms over so 'y' is by itself.
-7y-0.6=3.6-y
-0.6-3.6=-y+7y
-4.2=6y
y=-4.2/6
y= -0.7
