The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1
_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Just put the coefients in to a matrix
1x-6y-3z=4
-2x+0y-3z=-8
-2x+2y-3z=-14

B is answer
You answer would be <span>Place 20 equally sized pieces of paper in a hat. Of the 20, 3 read "rotten," and the rest read "not rotten". i just took the test</span>
C.) is the best answer others are less then 50%.
C.) $35 is $15 more then 20 this is over 50%
