Answer:
6(2n-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor out 6 from the expression
Y = 8x + 29 is the answer for your question
First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.
a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5
Then, we can find the sum by the expression:
S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313
A - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
Solve for A by adding 2 1/2 to both sides:
A = 1 1/2 + 2 1/2
A = 4
The answer is c. A = 4
Check: 4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
