If you're choosing possibilities from a list, trying them in the equations usually gives quick results.
Answer:
18=6b, b=3
Because Mary has 6 times as much as Carlos does, we put the x with 6. 18 is the number that 6x equals. 6*3=18
Given AP is 21 ,18,15,...
First term = 21
Common difference = 18-21 = -3
Let an = -81
We know that
an = a+(n-1)d
⇛21+(n-1)(-3) = -81
⇛ 21-3n+3 = -81
⇛24-3n = -81
⇛ 24+81 = 3n
⇛ 105= 3n
⇛ n = 105/3
⇛ n = 35
35th term of the AP is -81.
