Find the nth term of this number sequence<br> 7, 10, 13, 16, ...<br><br> help please !!
LenKa [72]

Answer:

a_{n} = 3n + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

10 - 7 = 13 - 10 = 16 - 13 = 3

this indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

here a₁ = 7 and d = 3 , then

a_{n} = 7 + 3(n - 1) = 7 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 4

20 points and brainlist if correct!
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The Commutative property states that numbers can be multiplied in any order

Step-by-step explanation:

look at the equation 4x2.36x.25. If you write the equation differently as 4x.25x2.36, the equation becomes easier to solve. Why? As you can see 4 and .25 (aka 1/4) 4 and 1?4 are reciprocals and anything multiplied by the reciprocal is 1. so 1x 2.36 is  2.36. The Communicative Property just helps to see those patterns and connections

hope this helps ;)

What number is halfway between 7/3 and 5/9 ?
Eddi Din [679]

    You add the two numbers and divide by two to get their average, of the number that would be midway (also a midpoint for visualization) between them. Find the least common denominator, which should be 9. Thus, you will multiply both the numerator and denominator of 7/3 by 3 to retain the ratio. You should get 21/9. Now, add 21/9 and 5/9 to get 26/9. That should be your answer, but make it a mixed number so you don't have an improper fraction.
