Answer:

127

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! :)

Let us find the 18th term — first, there are two main types of sequences.

  • Arithmetic Sequence — a sequence that has same difference or common difference.
  • Geometric Sequence — a sequence that has same ratio.

But if you notice, it cannot be geometric sequence because if we do ratio test, there are no common ratios.

Hence, it can only be arithmetic sequence.

<u>C</u><u>o</u><u>m</u><u>m</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>i</u><u>f</u><u>f</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>e</u>

\displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}

d is our common difference.

a_n+1 is the next term of a_n.

Let's check the common difference!

15-8 = 7

22-15 = 7

29-22 = 7

Therefore, 7 is our common difference.

<u>G</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u> </u><u>T</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>m</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>r</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>m</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>c</u><u> </u><u>S</u><u>e</u><u>q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>e</u>

\displaystyle \large{a_n = a_1  + (n - 1)d}

We know that a1 is the first term of sequence which is 8.

Our common difference is 7.

We want to find the 18th term — therefore,

\displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 8  + (18 - 1)7} \\  \displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 8  + (17)7} \\  \displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 8  + 119} \\  \displaystyle \large{a_{18} = 127}

Therefore, the 18th term is 127.

81300 - 56800 = 24500....so she made 24500 in passive income for the year.
We need per month, so we divide by 12 because there is 12 months in a yr.
24500/12 = 2041.67 per month

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TO DO HELP QUICKKKKK
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

First Question = 16 Second Question = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First one

32+48=x(2+3)

80=5x

Divide each sides with 5 and you have x=16

Second one

32+48=4(x+12)

80=4x+48

subtract 48 from 48 and 80 and you have 32=4x.

Divide it with 4 both side and you have x=8
