Answer:
im to late lol
Step-by-step explanation:
![\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ a_n=2-5(n-1)\implies a_n=\stackrel{\stackrel{a_1}{\downarrow }}{2}+(n-1)(\stackrel{\stackrel{d}{\downarrow }}{-5})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20n%5E%7Bth%7D%5Ctextit%7B%20term%20of%20an%20arithmetic%20sequence%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20a_n%3Da_1%2B%28n-1%29d%5Cqquad%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20n%3Dn%5E%7Bth%7D%5C%20term%5C%5C%20a_1%3D%5Ctextit%7Bfirst%20term%27s%20value%7D%5C%5C%20d%3D%5Ctextit%7Bcommon%20difference%7D%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20a_n%3D2-5%28n-1%29%5Cimplies%20a_n%3D%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cstackrel%7Ba_1%7D%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7D%7B2%7D%2B%28n-1%29%28%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cstackrel%7Bd%7D%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7D%7B-5%7D%29)
so, we know the first term is 2, whilst the common difference is -5, therefore, that means, to get the next term, we subtract 5, or we "add -5" to the current term.
just a quick note on notation:

1 pound = 16 ounces
multiply the amount of pounds you have by 16 (that's how many ounces is in a pound) your answer should be whatever you get
example: you have 13 pounds, just multiply it by 16, the answer is 208.
so there are 208 ounces in 13 pounds.
or you could go google and ask them.
hope this helps.
F(x)=(x-10)^2
Right is negative
Left is positive
Remember that - those become handy later on. Try to become really good at transformations!
Good luck!
