Answer: 
</h3>
n starts at 1, and n is a positive whole number (1,2,3,...)
======================================================
Explanation:
The sequence is arithmetic with first term 40 and common difference 10. Meaning we add 10 to each term to get the next one.
--------
a1 = 40 = first term
d = 10 = common difference
is the general nth term of this arithmetic sequence
Plug in n = 1 and you should get 
Plug in n = 2 and you should get 
and so on
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. isolate the variable by subtracting 7 on both sides: 4x=23-7
2. simplify: 4x=16
3. divide both sides by 4: x=16/4
4. simplify: x=4
Answer:
P earned $ 718.85.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that P borrowed $ 16000 from a person at 12% per annum simple interest and lent the whole amount to Q at the same rate of annually compound interest, to determine how much did he gain after 3 years the following calculation must be performed:
16,000 x 0.12 x 3 = X
1,920 x 3 = X
5,760 = X
16,000 x (1 + 0.12 / 1) ^ 3 = X
16,000 x 1.12 ^ 3 = X
16,000 x 1.404928 = X
22,478.85 = X
22,478.85 - 16,000 = 6,478.85
6,478.85 - 5,760 = X
718.85 = X
Therefore, P earned $ 718.85.
