Answer:

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the formula to find out each term.
f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. If n=1 that is the 1st term, if n=2 that is the 2nd term, and so on. n means what number term it is.
Now to find each term:

n=1: f(1)= 3(1)-1= 3-1= 2 The 1st term is 2
n=2: f(2)= 3(2)-1= 6-1= 5 The 2nd term is 5
n=3: f(3)= 3(3)-1= 9-1=8 The 3rd term is 8
n=4: f(4)= 4(3)-1= 12-1= 11 The 4th term is 11
n=5: f(5)= 5(3)-1= 15-1= 14 The 5th term is 14

So the first 5 terms are 2,5,8,11,14

Wgich value is closest to 85% of 25..is it20,16,18, or 22

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Well 85% of 25 is 21.25. So the closest ones would be 20 or 22. Well let's check out the difference's. 21.25-20= 1.25.....22-21.25=.75. well clearly .75 is smaller than 1.25 so your answer would be 22. 85% of 25 is closest to 22.

Change this equation, in standard form, to slope-intercept form: 2x + 3y = 18

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

y = -2/3 + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 18 ----- here is the equation...

-2x - 2x ----- bring the 2x to the other side

3y = -2x + 18 ----- now you have to divide everything by 3 to get y by itself

y = -2/3 + 18 ----- Done!
