Step-by-step explanation:

To find the formula for the nth term ,

First , find the common difference or common ratio.

Common difference =

T_2-T_1 \\  - 2 - 3 \\  =  - 5

Common ratio =

T_2/T_1 \\  \frac{ - 2}{3}

The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :

T_3- T_2  =  - 7 - ( - 2) \\  =  - 7 + 2 =  - 5

this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

T_n =a(n-1)d

Where n = no of terms

a= first term

d= common difference

-2(bx-5)=16 what is the value of x in terms of b and what is the value of x when b is 3?
Savatey [412]
Answer= -54



-2(bx-5)=16

If b is 3, then it changes to -2(3x-5)=16

We want to find x, right? Then we must do -2•3x and -2(-5). The result would be -6x and 10.

Then again, the equation would change -6x+10=16
Which would be -6x=6
Is x=6/6

And then x would be 1


Please tell me what I did wrong and if it is wrong, comment on this and I’ll fix my mistake!^^
