We can figure this out using the explicit formula.

n represents the term we are looking for.f(1) represents the first term in the sequence, which in this case, is -242.d represents the common difference, which in this case, is -9.
f(n) = -242 + -9(n - 1)
f(n) = -242 - 9n + 9
f(n) = -233 - 9n
Now, we can input 28 for n and solve.
f(28) = -233 - 9(28)
f(28) = -233 - 252
f(28) = -485
The 28th term of the sequence is -485.

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to multiply both sides of the equation by -6/5
-6/5 × (-5/6x) = -6/5 × -10/3
Then you need to calculate and reduce. First, you'll reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor, 6.
1/5 × 5x = -6/5 × (-10/3)
then reduce the greatest common divisor, 5
x = -6/5 × (-10/3)
Then multiply (multiplying two negatives equals a positive)
x = 6/5 × 10/3
reduce the greatest common divisor, 3
x = 2/5 × 10
reduce the greatest common divisor, 6
x = 2 × 2
x = 4
(i know this is confusing, sorry)
