a(8x + 7) = 4x + 3.5

8ax + 7a = 4x + 3.5

equating coefficients of x : 8a = 4 so a = 1/2

also 7a = 3.5 so a = 1/2

The value of a is 1/2

What is the general term equation, an, for the arithmetic sequence 5, 1, −3, −7, . . . , and what is the 21st term of this seque

Sonja [21]

The general term is obtained by starting with the initial value 5 and then subtracting 4 each time you wish to generate a new term:

a2 = second term = 5+(2-1)(-4) = 5+(-4) = 1

General term:

an = nth term = 5+(n-1)(-4)

Thus, the 21st term is 5+(21-1)(-4) = 5 + (20)(-4) = -75 (answer)
