Answer:
= 20n + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is
d = 52 - 32 = 72 - 52 = 92 - 72 = 20
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 32 and d = 20, thus
= 32 + 20(n - 1) = 32 + 20n - 20 = 20n + 12
-5.8 + (-2.5) = -8.3
since both the number are negative you simply add the numbers and use the negative sign.
The price of album y is $5.80. I solved the system of equations of B and C. Getting rid of the variable z, I was able to get rid of x next. Solving this system gave me $5.80 without having to substitute into the other equation.
