An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where the next number is found by adding on to the last number (ex: 2,5,8,11... is a sequence where 3 is added on to find the next number).
The equation for an arithmetic sequence is


is the "n-th" number in the sequence (ex: is the first term in the sequence)
d is the number you add (common difference) to find the next number
The first number in the sequence is 47 so

<span>d=-2 because the question gives you that

The answer is A. -9.

The answer is C. 158
-4(3-x)+6=2(x-3)
-12+4x+6=2x-6
-6+4x=2x-6
-6+6=2x-4x
0=-2x
0/x=-2
Answer:
The total amount that he would have paid after 3 years is $1183.
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining simple interest which is expressed as
I = PRT/100
I represents interest paid on the amount owed.
P represents the principal or initial amount owed.
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration for which the amount was owed in years.
P = $795
R = 16.25
T = 3 years
I = (795 × 16.25 × 3) ÷ 100
I = $388
Total amount that he would have paid after 3 years is $795 + $388 = $1183
