765 / 9 = 85
9*100 = 900 but this is too much
900 - 765 = 135
9 goes into 135 15 times (9*10=90 which leaves 45 which is 9*5 so 5+10) so you minus 15 from the 100 that made 900
so 100 - 15 = 85
When using distributive property for this it’s gonna be 5(5.75+4.25)
So 5•5.75=28.75
5•4.25=21.25
So then 28.75+21.25=50
To solve this problem, we need to know the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. The formula is

= t₁ + (n-1)d, with

being the nth term, t₁ being the first term, and d being the distance between terms. Now we can substitute values to figure out what

is. When substituting, the equation becomes:

= 12 + 29(-6)

= -162
That means that the 30th term in this arithmetic sequence is
-162.
