Answer:
Patricia is 47 years old
Sharla is 55 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the first sentence as an equation: (S= Sharla) (P= Patricia)
S=P+8
Rewrite the second sentence as an equation:
S+P=102
1) Substitute P+8 as Sharla in the second equation:
P+8+P=102
2) Combine alike terms:
2P+8=102
3) Subtract 8 from both sides:
2P=94
4) Divide both sides by 2:
P=47
5) Substitute 47 as P in the <u>First</u> equation:
S=47+8
6) Solve:
S=55
Given that the recursive formula is:
an=an-1+7
first term is
a1=17
the second term will be:
a2=a(2-1)+7
a2=a1+7
a2=17+7
a2=24
To evaluate for the explicit formula we use the formula:
an=a+d(n-1)
where
a=first term
d=common difference
from the calculations above:
d=24-17=7
thus the explicit formula will be:
an=17+7(n-1)
an=17+7n-7
an=7n+17-7
an=7n+10
Answer: B] an=7n+10
