Answer: Hopefully the math terms won't confuse anyone.

So in the series, a_3 = -1 and a_7 = -13. Since it's an arithmetic sequence, all the terms in the series can be represented as:

a_n = a_0 + n * k

where n is the nth number. K is a constant you add to reach the next term, and a_0 is the starting constant.

a_7 = a_0 + 7 * k

a_3 = a_0 + 3 * k

solving this system gives you that

k = - 3 and a_0 = 8

Hence:

a_22 = 8 + 22 * -3 = -58

Step-by-step explanation:

What percent is equivalent to 8/40 ? 8% 20% 25% 40%
Nikitich [7]
First you have to get the number on the right 40 to equal 100 so do 40x2=80- +40x1.5= 100

Then do the same thing to the first number 8 so 8x2=16+8x1.5=20

then you have 20/100 right so then that number over 100 is the percent that you get ^-^ 20%

The corporate team-building event will cost $14 if it has 7 attendees. If there are 9
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: for 9 attendees it would cost $18

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to find the unit rate. So for every 7 attendees it costs $14, divide them both by the GCF which is 7. 14÷7=2

7÷7=1

So for every 1 attendee it is $2.

Now to figure out how much it would cost for 9 attendees, figure out what you have to do to 1 to get 9. Multiply it by 9.

And whatever you do to one number you have to do for the other. So $2 • 9 = $18

So for every 9 attendees it costs $18.
