Answer:

The numbers are 24, 16 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation you need to use all the information you have to add in 3 variables, use the information you have to connect them, so you only use one number. You’ll have the second number (x), the first number (x+8) and the third number (3x) now we use all of that to make an equation.

88=x+(x+8)+3x

Now you simplify the equation,

88=5x+8

Now get the x and it’s coefficient alone on one side

80=5x

Now divide both sides so the x is alone

x=16

Since the second number was x you know the second number

the first number is x+8 since x is 16 the first number is 24

The third number is 3 * x so the third number is 48.

So the numbers are 24, 16 and 48

Write an equation to represent the N'th term of the sequence (2,-1.-4,-7,...)
mr_godi [17]

Answer: a(n) = 5 - 3n

the sequence has:

a1 = 2

a2 = -1

a3 = -7

.........

we can see that: a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = -3

=> the sequence is a  arithmetic sequence

=> the distance between the numbers is d = -3

because this sequence is a  arithmetic sequence

=> a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d = 2 + (n - 1).(-3) = 5 - 3n
