Question

Find the 96th term of the arithmetic sequence -3, -14, -25, ...

Answer 1

Answer:

-1059

Step-by-step explanation:

Katelyn, this is super easy to understand.

Anyways, to find the 96th term of the sequence, first subtract -14 and -3. You may be thinking it is -17, but it is not. -17 is only if you are subtracting -14 and 3.

(-14) - (-3) = -14 + 3 = -11.

That means the difference between each number is -11.

Now all you have to do is take the -11 and multiply it by 96, which is -1056. Then, add the -1056 to -3, which is -1059. That should be your answer.

Your school may have taught you a different way, but this is my way.
