Answer:
3.94
Step-by-step explanation:
First term is -7, so a_1 = -7
To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4
So d = 4 is the common difference.
Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4
Answer: Choice A
The answer for the blank space is 21.8
1/3 + 1/6
---Find a common denominator, or the least common multiple of the given denominators. In this case, that would be 6.
1/3 = 2/6
1/6 = 1/6
---Now add the fractions
2/6 + 1/6
3/6
---Simplify/Reduce the fraction
3/6
1/2
Answer: 1/2
1/3 + 1/6 = 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 (or 1/2)
Hope this helps!
