In order to solve for a nth term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula written as:
an = a1 + (n-1)d
where an is the nth term, a1 is the first value in the sequence, n is the term position and d is the common difference.
First, we need to calculate for d from the given values above.
<span>a1 = 38 and a17 = -74
</span>
an = a1 + (n-1)d
-74 = 38 + (17-1)d
d = -7
The 27th term is calculated as follows:
a27 = a1 + (n-1)d
a27= 38 + (27-1)(-7)
a27 = -144 -----------> OPTION D
First, find the price of the table after the sale, so
600 x .3 = 180
600 - 180 = 420
Next, find the sales tax
420 x .08 = 33.6
420 + 33.6 = 453.6
Finally, add the shipping
453.6 + 7.5 = $461.1
Answer:
17a+10b
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this work have a nice day
Make one of the variables drop out.
I'd go for the y since it's easiest in this problem.
Time the top equation by -1.
This changes the system to:
Add the equations.
The equation would be:
Or simply:
Solve for x by dividing.
Then, plug x into one of the original equations to find y.
I'm going to use the first one since the numbers are smaller, but you CAN use either.
Put these into an ordered pair.
(0,1)
That is your answer.
Hope this helped!
