Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1:  20; Case 2:  36

Case 1:  arithmetic sequence

The common difference is 8.  Notice that 4 + 8 = 12.

a(1) = 4; a(2) = 12; a(3) = 20; etc.

The common next term (3rd term) is 20.

Case 2:  geometric sequence

The common ratio is 3.  Notice that 4*3 = 12.

Multiplying this second term by the common ratio (3) results in the third term:  36.

The money m (in £) Xavier has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Enter a f
Otrada [13]

Answer: The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the money m (in £) Xavier has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Therefore, the formula for the money he can spend will be:

m = w - t

The amount of money that he has to spend if he earns £120 a week and pays £41 in tax will be:

m = w - t

m = £120 - £41

m = £79
