Answer:
For an nth term U(n) = a + (n - 1)d
n = number of terms
a = first term
d = common difference
a = 5
d = 2 - 5 = - 3
U(n) = 5 + (n -1)-3
= 5 - 3n + 3
= 8 - 3n
The formula for the sequence is 8 - 3n

The financially responsible choice would be for Jackson to lease a car for right now. as Jackson moves up in the company to a high paying position he should pay off the car. this way Jackson isn’t in any debt while he’s making his modest income and not have any money left.

It looks like your equations are
7M - 2t = -30
5t - 12M = 115
<u>Solving by substitution</u>
Solve either equation for one variable. For example,
7M - 2t = -30 ⇒ t = (7M + 30)/2
Substitute this into the other equation and solve for M.
5 × (7M + 30)/2 - 12M = 115
5 (7M + 30) - 24M = 230
35M + 150 - 24M = 230
11M = 80
M = 80/11
Now solve for t.
t = (7 × (80/11) + 30)/2
t = (560/11 + 30)/2
t = (890/11)/2
t = 445/11
<u>Solving by elimination</u>
Multiply both equations by an appropriate factor to make the coefficients of one of the variables sum to zero. For example,
7M - 2t = -30 ⇒ -10t + 35M = -150 … (multiply by 5)
5t - 12M = 115 ⇒ 10t - 24M = 230 … (multiply by 2)
Now combining the equations eliminates the t terms, and
(-10t + 35M) + (10t - 24M) = -150 + 230
11M = 80
M = 80/11
It follows that
7 × (80/11) - 2t = -30
560/11 - 2t = -30
2t = 890/11
t = 445/11
