The difference of a number and 5 = n - 5
Twice that = 2(n - 5)
‘is’ is the equal sign, so the expression before is equal to 7.
Equation: 2(n - 5) = 7
Answer:
100 people
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Population</em><em> </em><em>Of</em><em> </em><em>People</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>Percentage</em><em>ncrease</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>
<em>The</em><em> </em><em>New</em><em> </em><em>Population </em><em>corresponds </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>
<em>(</em><em>That</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>
<em>We</em><em> </em><em>want</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>popula</em><em>tion</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>corresponds</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>100%</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>is </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>original</em><em> </em><em>population</em><em>.</em>
<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>Original </em><em>Population</em><em>;</em>

Answer:
(b) a[1] = -7, a[n] = a[n-1] + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparing the given formula to the general form for the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
we see that the first term (a1) is -7, and the common difference (d) is +3.
The recursive version of the sequence definition is ...
a[1] = a1
a[n] = a[n-1] +d
So, the appropriate choice is ...
a[1] = -7, a[n] = a[n-1] +3
Think about the question. In division, if you divide by 1, the number stays the same. If you divide by a larger number (like 10), the answer will get smaller. Therefore, you know to move the decimal to the left.
Here, there is one zero after the 1, so you move the decimal back one space. If it was divided by 100, the answer would be 0.165
