Using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression.
an = a + (n - 1)d
a(4) = a + 3d = 55
a(9) = a + 8d = 90
a(9) - a(4) => 5d = 35
d = 35/5 = 7.
From a(4): a = 55 - 3d = 55 - 3(7) = 55 - 21 = 34
a(2) = a + d = 34 + 7 = 41.
The addition property of equality justifies this. You could also say that she simply subtracted 7, and then it would be the subtraction property of equality. This is the case because if you add or subtract (or multiply or divide) the same number on both sides of an equation, the equation will still be the same.

Answer:
The original price of the pants was $30.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be equal to the original price of the pants.
Because the pants are 40% off, their final price was 60% of the original price. 60% as a decimal is 0.6. Using this information, we can set up the following equation and solve:
0.6x=18
Divide both sides by 0.6
0.6x/0.6=18/0.6
x=30
I hope this helps!
