The sequence is an arithmetic sequence with
a₁ = -4
d = a₂ - a₁
d = -1 - (-4)
d = -1 + 4
d = 3
an = x
Sn = 437
General formula in arithmetic sequence
Formula to find nth term
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
Formula to find sum of sequence (sn)
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
We have to make an equation system based on the problem
plug the numbers into the formula
First equation
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3n - 3
x = 3n - 7
Second equation
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
n/2 (a₁ + an) = 437
n/2 (-4 + x) = 437
n(x - 4) = 874
xn - 4n = 874
Solve the equation system by subtitution method
Subtitute x with 3n - 7 in the second equation
xn - 4n = 874
(3n - 7)n - 4n = 874
3n² - 7n - 4n = 874
3n² - 11n - 874 = 0
(3n + 46)(n - 19) = 0
n = -46/3 or n = 19
Because the number of terms shouldn't be negative, -46/3 isn't required, so the value of n is 19.
Solve for x, back to the first equatin
x = 3n - 7
x = 3(19) - 7
x = 57 - 7
x = 50
The solution is 50

Answer:24
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
To find this you have to find what 55% of 20 is
You can do this by doing 20 * 0.55
0.55 is 55% as a decimal
This gives us the answer of 11
Hope this helps!
Matching each equation of the plecewise function represented in the graph will be:
- 2 < x < 3 = 3 - x
- 0 < x < 2 = 1
- x = 2 = x
- 3 < x < 5 = 5 - x
<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>
It should be noted that a domain simply means the set of inputs that are accepted by the function.
In this case, the equation of the piecewise function represented is given.
The graph is attached.
