28,000+3,000x=36,000+2,000x
X will be the number of years worked, now we just have to make the equation true.
I did the work out already, and the answer is 8!
If you want to check my answer just substitute it in to the problem for x.
Answer:
-5n + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. What is the difference?</u>
The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.
<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>
The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.
3 + 5 = 8 Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)
<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>
We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.
-5n + 8 This is our answer!
Just to prove it works:
<em>Substitute: n = term</em>
Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)
-5(3) + 8
-15 + 8 = -7
See, it works!
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step:</u>
<u>First let's set up the equation for the cost for one week of renting the car</u>
- agency charges $230 per week
- agency charges $0.25 per mile (<em>lets set the number of miles as 'x')</em>
<em> </em>
<u>The total cost was 415</u>, <em>therefore:</em>
Therefore, you traveled 740 miles
<u>Answer: 740 miles</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helps!

Some of the problems are in scientific notation, which if you don't know how to do, I will try to explain, when you see for example 1 x 10^3, what it is saying is basically 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 so in that case 1,000, simple trick is to look at what ever number is in the top right, then add that many zeroes. So this is most likely supposed to be a division problem. if you need more help message me.
