Let y represent Tim's age and let x represent Chris's age.

y=3x

y=x+14

Set the two equations equal to each other:

3x=x+14

Subtract the x from the one side to get it on the other side.

2x=14

Divide by 2 on both sides

14/2=7

x=7

Plug it back in and see if it works:

y=3(7)=21

Other equation:

7+14=21

x=7

y=21

What is the 52nd term of the sequence below?

VladimirAG [237]

Because the difference between any term and the previous term is a constant, this is an arithmetic sequence because of that constant which is referred to as the common difference, d. Which in this case is -35--38=-32--35=3

Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number.

In this case a=-38 and d=3 so

a(n)=-38+3(n-1) which we can simplify to

a(n)=-38+3n-3

a(n)=3n-41, so the 52nd term is:

a(52)=3(52)-41

a(52)=156-41

a(52)=115
