From the recursive rule

a_n = a_{n-1}-13

it follows that

a_{n-1}=a_{n-2}-13 \implies a_n = a_{n-2} - 2\times13

a_{n-2}=a_{n-3}-13 \implies a_n = a_{n-3} - 3\times13

and so on. Notice how the subscript on a on the right side and the coefficient multiplied by 13 add up to n (n - 2 + 2 = n; n - 3 + 3 = n; and so on). If we continue the pattern, we'll end up with

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)\times13

so that the explicit rule for the n-th term in the sequence is

a_n = -2 + 13(n-1) \implies a_n = \boxed{13n-15}

Solve<br>0.9(7x + 14) = 1.5 - (x + 2)
Triss [41]

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.9(7x+14)=1.5-(x+2)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 6.3x+12.6=1.5-x-2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 63x+12.6=-x-0.5

\\ \sf\longmapsto 63x+x=-0.5-12.6

\\ \sf\longmapsto 64x=-13.1

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-13.1}{64}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=0.2
