Answer: The third term is -14
----------------------------------------------
Explanation:
First term = A(1) = 20, which is given
Second term
A(n) = A(n-1) - 17
A(2) = A(2-1) - 17
A(2) = A(1) - 17 .... note: second term = (first term) - 17
A(2) = 20 - 17
A(2) = 3
Third term
A(n) = A(n-1) - 17
A(3) = A(3-1) - 17
A(3) = A(2) - 17 ... note: third term = (second term) - 17
A(3) = 3 - 17
A(3) = -14
Answer:
the triangle PQR is similar to RTS
Step-by-step explanation:
QR : RT
2 : 6
this 1:3 ratio is also seen in PR (4) with RS (12)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute 1/4 to all terms within the parenthesis
9 - 5 = 4
1/4(16x + 60) = (16x + 60)/4 = 4x + 15
4 = 4x + 15
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.
Subtract 15 from both sides
4 = 4x + 15
4 (-15) = 4x + 15 (-15)
4 - 15 = 4x
-11 = 4x
Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides
(-11)/4 = (4x)/4
x = -11/4
hope this helps
