Answer: -14
Step-by-step explanation: 3-17= -14
17+(-14)=3
The way we would answer the question would be to express it as
100-9(n-1) with n being the nth term of the pattern.
Why is this? We know we subtract 9 each time and START from 100.
Remember though that 100 is the first term in the sequence. So, we would have (n-1)*9 to subtract 0 from our 1st term and 9 from our second term.
Also, we have 9*(n-1) because we are just subtracting multiples of 9. It is always going to subtract by 9.
If you needed the answer here it is...
The answer to the problem would be
100-9(13-1)
= 100-9(12)
= 100-108
= -8
What you want to first is substitute the numbers in for the variables in the equation
Since b= -5 , we will plug it in for -b
-5 + c = -13x
Now plug in -8 for c
-5 + (-8) = -13x
Add the numbers on the left side, which gives you -13.
-13 = -13x
Lastly, divide both sides by -13x, which will give you 1.
So x = 1
H=(√3)*a/2 = 41.2
So, a=2*41.2/√3=47.6
