Answer:
the first 3 consecutive numbers
x, x +1, x +2 = 270
x+x+1+x+2 =270
3x +3 =270
collect like terms
3x =270 -3
3x =267
divide both sides by 3
x =89
Answer: 52x+4
Step-by-step explanation: Do 16(2x-1)+4(5x+5) and get 52x+4.
Answer:
2(2−1)
Step-by-step explanation:
4−2
Grouping
Common factor
4−2
2(2−1)
Solution
2(2−1)
To find explicit formulas, you need two things. The common difference and the first term.
For example, #18
The first term = -15
The common difference = -20 -(-15) = -20 + 15 = -5
y = A + B(n - 1)
A = our first term
B = our common difference
n = the term you want to find in the sequence.
Leta plug our numbers in from #18
y = -15 + -5(n - 1)
Let's find the 4th term in the sequence.
y = -15 + -5(4 - 1)
y = -15 + -5(3)
y = -15 + -15
y = -30
