4th term = 29
to generate the terms, substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the rule
noting that b(1) = - 7
b(2) = b(2 - 1) + 12 = b(1) + 12 = -7 + 12 = 5
b(3) = b(3 - 1) + 12 = b(2) + 12 = 5 + 12 = 17
b(4) = b(4 - 1) + 12 = b(3) + 12 = 17 + 12 = 29
Firstly, you would subtract 7 from both sides, leaving you with 3m=21. You would then divide by three in order to be left with total value of m. 3m divided by 3 is m. 21 divided by 3 is 7. Therefore m=7 :)
Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 6:
t=144/6=24
The solution is t=24
Good luck!
A circle has a total of 360°, if Samantha is eating 12° wedges off of it every day, then how many times does 12° go into 360°? 360/12, that many.
