Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule tells you the initial term of the sequence is a1 = -3, and the common difference is d=7. (7 is the value added to one term to get the next term.)
Putting these values into the formula for the explicit rule gives ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
an = -3 + 7(n -1)
Answer:
X = 102
Step-by-step explanation:
41 + 37 + x = 180
78 + x = 180
X = 180 - 78 = 102
Let, the number of toy trucks = x
Then, number of toy cars = (x + 12)
Now, we have: x + x+12 = 38
2x + 12 = 38
2x = 38 - 12
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13
So, there are 13 toy trucks in total.
