Answer:
an = a(n-1) - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the second term is smaller than the first term 7.
a20 = a19 - 7
a19 = a18 - 7
=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7
Then you can accumalate until a1
-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47
Answer:
A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.
C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.
The answer is 31
29 - 13 is 16
16 + 15 is 31
1/6 = 0.16
1/8 = 0.125
1/11 = 0.09
2/9 = 0.22
4/5 = 0.8
5/9 = 0.56
1/2 = 0.5
7/9 = 0.78
