Answer:

First term = -41.

Common difference = -15.

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term: an = a1 + (n - 1)d  where a = first term and d = the common difference.

-671 = a1 + (43 - 1)d

-806 = a1 +(52 - 1)d

-671  = a1 + 42d

-806 = a1 + 51d

Subtracting ( to eliminate a1):

-671 - (-806) = 42d - 51d

-9d =  135

d = -15

Substitute for d in the first equation:

-671 = a1 + 42*-15

-671 = a1 - 630

a1 = -671 + 630 = -41.

inessss [21]

Answer:

Aimee can save $24 by buying tickets at the lower price that is at the theater.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the amount she would spent by buying tickets at the theater and online by using a rule of three:

Theater:

60→8

x  ←24

x=(60*24)/8=180

Online:

51→6

x ←24

x=(51*24)/6=204

Now, you need to calculate the difference:

$204-$180=$24

According to this, the answer is that Aimee can save $24 by buying tickets at the lower price that is at the theater.
