First, find a common denominator (the bottom number) Then add the tops as usual. Four and five have a common denominator of 20 so: 8/20+5/20=13/20
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule tells you the initial term of the sequence is a1 = -3, and the common difference is d=7. (7 is the value added to one term to get the next term.)
Putting these values into the formula for the explicit rule gives ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
an = -3 + 7(n -1)
Answer:
4 : 18, 8 : 36
Step-by-step explanation:
We multiply to find equal ratios.
2 x 2 = 4
9 x 2 = 18
4 x 2 = 8
18 x 2 = 36
We get 4 : 18, 8 : 36.
