Step-by-step explanation:
a1 is the first term. In this case, 2.
r is the common ratio. Each term is multiplied by -3 to get the next term, so r = -3.
an = 2 (-3)ⁿ⁻¹
The answer you are looking for is -3.
To find this answer, you must get "n" by itself. First subtract 5 from both sides. You would get (-8)n = 24, which you then divide -8 on both sides, to get a final answer of n = -3.
I hope this helps!

Answer: $17.92/sandwich
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S be the price of a sandwich ($/sandwich).
7S is the total cost of the sandwiches. Add a drink for $2.50 to find the total cost, which we are told comes to $140.50
7S + $2.50 = $140.50
7S = $138
S = $19.7143
It is odd that this includes a fraction of a single penny (0.43 cents). Something is incorrect in the data given, since this should equal a whole number. For now, I'll round up to $19.72. The additional 7*($0.0043) = 4 cents will be treated as a tip.
