6a-(n-1)(3a) is the nth term
Expanding we get 6a-3an+3a=9a-3an=3a(3-n)
SOLUTION: nth term is 3a(3-n)

Answer:

The answer is a_n=6a-3a(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the general rule, we have to identify the difference between each term. We have to subtract every two continuous terms:

3a-6a=-3a\\0-3a=-3a\\-3a-0=-3a\\-6a-(-3a)=-6a+3a=-3a

Then, we know that we have to subtract -3a to every next term. The first term of the sequence is 6a and after that we have to subtract -3a since the second to the nth term.

Thus the nth term of the sequence is:

a_n=6a-3a(n-1)

To check the expression:

n=1\\a_1=6a-3a(1-1)=6a-3a(0)=6a\\\\n=3\\a_3=6a-3a(3-1)=6a-3a(2)=6a-6a=0

So, the expression is right.

Michelle has a maximum of 4500 milliliters  of water for her plants today. Each basil plant requires 350 of water, and each fenn
anyanavicka [17]

The inequality becomes :

350B+525F≤4500

Explanation:

Let the number of basil plants be represented by = B

Let the number of fennel plants be represented by = F

As each basil plant needs 350 ml of water, so B basil plants will need 350*B = 350B ml of water

Similarly, each fennel plant needs 525 ml of water so F fennel plants will need 525*F = 525F ml of water.

And both the plants need to be watered with a maximum of 4500 ml of water.

So inequality becomes: 350B+525F≤4500
