Answer: Mike started with 75 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The number of cards mike started with (x) plus the new cards added (7) must be divided by 2 (since his dog ate half of his collection).

That expression must be equal to the number of cards left (41)

Mathematically speaking:

(x + 7) /2 = 41

Solving for x:

x+7 = 41x2

x+7 = 82

x = 82-7

x = 75 cards

The 50th term of an arithmetic sequence is 86 and the common difference is 2.  Find the first three terms of the sequence.
Nesterboy [21]
a_n=a_{n-1}+d=a_{n-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(n-1)d

which means

a_{50}=86=a_1+49\times2\implies a_1=-12

which in turn means the next two terms are a_2=-10 and a_3=-8.
