I don’t understand apply to what?
-7n + 9 because the common difference is -7, so you have -7n, and then by plugging in the term numbers and the values, you find out that you need to add 9 to the -7n, so the answer is -7n + 9
We are given
P = $754.43
r = 13.6% annual
for a.
A = 150
for b.
A = 300
First, change the interest into effective monthly
i = (1 + 0.136/12)^12 - 1
Solve for i
Next, use the general formula
A = P i ( 1 + i)^n / (1 + 1)^n - 1
Subsitute P, i, and A for a and b.
Then, solve for n for a and b.
The gcf of -18m and 27 is -9 if not then positive 9, but if you want me to also solve the equation its -18m + 27 is -9(2m - 3) i hope it helps!
