Answer:
-89
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term of the sequence is a1 = -12.
The common difference between terms is ...
d = -13 -(-12) = -1
The generic term is given by ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
Then the 78th term is ...
a78 = -12 +(-1)(78 -1) = -12 -77
a78 = -89
Simplify
Let's simplify step-by-step.
x(5)−3(x−4)
Distribute:
=x(5)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−4)
=5x+−3x+12
Combine Like Terms:
=(5x+−3x)+(12)
=2x+12
A - (-6,-2)
B - (2,-2)
C - (2,-7)
