The explicit rule for any arithmetic sequence is:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number
In this case a=-3 and d=7 so:
a(n)=-3+7(n-1)
a(n)=-3+7n-7
a(n)=7n-10
You isolate the v and move 3 units down to the left which leads u to 10. Hope this helped
3/2 and 9/10. Look at the denominators. 2 times what number equals 10. That number would be 5. So if you multiply the first fractions denominator by 5 you get 10. Do the same to the top. you get a new fracrion which is 15/10. Add normally. 15/10 + 9/10 = 24/10. In lowest terms it is 2 2/5 (2 wholes and 2 out of 5)
To find the answer all you have to do is subtract 10 from 526.
So, 526 - 10 = 516
Hope this helped :)
