Answer:
avn= -8 + (n-1)(-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
arithmetic sequence formula= avn= av1 + (n-1)d
av1= first number in the sequence
d= common difference
n= the number of the term to find
The common difference is -7 so d=-7 and you plug it into the equation. The first number in the sequence is -8 so av1.
There is no specific n to find so it remains n.

Answer: 5 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to set up a proportion. 6/12=x/10. To solve, cross-multiply and divide. Multiply 6 and 10 (6*10=60) and divide by 12 (60/12=5).
You can also find that 6/12 is equal to 1/2 by dividing each side by 6. Then multiply 10 by 1/2 (or divide 10 by 2) to get the final answer of 5 people.
