Answer:
m = (p+7n)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3m-7n = p
3m = p+7n
m = (p+7n)/3
Total amount of money received by David for working at his father's store = $50
Amount of money spent by David at the movies = $20
Amount of money spent by David buying comics books = $10
Amount of money spent by David buying candy = $5
Then
Total amount spent by David = (20 + 10 + 5) dollars
= 35 dollars
Amount of money saved by David = (50 - 35 ) dollars
= 15 dollars
So
The ratio of the amount of money David
spent to the amount of money David saved = 35:15
= 7:3
So the ratio of the amount of money David spent to the amount of money David saved is 7:3

First term = a = 2
Problem
Find the nth term
tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or
tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n
where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).
Try a few to make sure the formula is correct
<em>n = 1</em>
t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1
t1 = (-1)^0 * 2
t1 = 1 * 2 = 2
<em>n =2</em>
t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4
