Find the fourth term of an arithmetic sequence if the first term is 12 and the common difference is -3. A (subscript 4)=???
1 answer:
Answer:
The fourth term of the sequence is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + (n - 1)d
Where n is the number of terms
a is the first term
d is the common difference
From the question
a = 12
d = - 3
So the fourth term of the sequence is
A(4) = 12 + (4 - 1)-3
= 12 + (3)(-3)
= 12 - 9
The final answer is
3

A + b = 147....a = 147 - b
5.85a + 4.40b = 786
5.85(147 - b) + 4.40b = 786
859.95 - 5.85b + 4.40b = 786
-5.85b + 4.40b = 786 - 859.95
- 1.45b = -73.95
b = -73.95 / -1.45
b = 51 <== she used 51 lbs of type B coffee
