Answer:

<h2>            aₙ = 7n - 10</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term:  a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

So:

    a₄ = a₁ + 3d

18 =  a₁ + 3d   ⇒   3d =  18 - a₁

    a₇ = a₁ + 6d

39 = a₁ + 6d

39 = a₁ + 2(18 - a₁)

39 = a₁ + 36 - 2a₁

39 = 36 - a₁

a₁ = -3

3d = 18 - (-3)

3d = 21

d = 7

So the nth term:

                            a_n = -3 + 7(n-1)\\\\a_n=-3 +7n - 7\\\\a_n = 7n - 10

Schach [20]

Answer:

I believe the answer is the second option, t is the independent variable and a is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the amount of juice Marshall can make depends on the number of tomatoes Marshall has. Therefore, a is a dependent variable and option B is the answer.
