Answer:
The smaller number is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x
the other number is (17 -x) (we know they add up to 17)
2/3 of the bigger number is written as 2/3 (17 - x)
The smaller number is 3 less than that. (so subtract 3 to get x)
x= 2/3 (17 -x) - 3 <-- We have an equation, solve for x
Check 2/3 x 12 - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5
An arithmetic sequence (a_n) is as follows:

where

is the first term and d is the constant difference,
thus, we see that the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence is

in our particular case d=5, the third term is 8, so we have:

and the general term is

,
Answer: first term is -2, n'th term is -2+5(n-1)
You divide 1/2 by 2 (1/2 * 1/2) and get 1/4. they each get 1/4 pound
