Answer:

first term = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sₙ = (a₁ * (1 - rⁿ)) / (1 - r)     a₁: first term     r: common ratio     n: terms

15624 = (a₁ * (1 - 5⁶)) / (1 - 5)

          = (a₁ * -15624) / -4

a₁ x (-15624) =15624 x (-4)

a₁ = 4

check: 4+20+100+500+2500+12500 =15624

Natalka [10]
It would be 7 hours because 35 x 3 is 105, if she is already 105 miles from home then 35 x 7 is 245. 245 + 105 = 350. Candice would be at 350 and Liz would be at 350, so in conclusion the answer is 7 hours. :)
