Answer:

$a_{n}$ = 9 - 6n

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = - 3 - 3 = - 9 - (- 3) = - 15 - (- 9) = - 6

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 3 and d = - 6 , thus

$a_{n}$ = 3 - 6(n - 1) = 3 - 6n + 6 = 9 - 6n

In your home you can make and paint 17 small planters in 5 days or 12 large planters in five days. You received an order for 50

Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so you can use proportions for this. Since 17 small planters can be made in 5 days you would put 5 Days under 17 SP (Sp = small planters) Then you would do 17 times x which equals 17x and 5 times 50 which equals 250. you would then divide them by each other . 250 divided by 17 is a bunch of numbers but to shorten it you can just put 14.705 or 15 if you round it.

17sp 50

----------------- 250/17 = x =14.705

5D x

you would then do the same to the other Large planters.

12LP 24. 120/12 = x = 10

-------------

5D. x

the question is how many days to make them ALL. so you would then add 10 + 14.705 which equals 24.705. then you can round that to 25 DAYS.
