-10t - (-17t) - 10t + (-13) = 11 (two negative signs makes a positive)
-10t + 17t - 10t - 13 = 11 Combine like terms
-3t - 13 = 11 Add 13 on both sides
-3t = 24 Divide -3 on both sides
t = -8
I would go with D, it looks like it is the most linear out of the rest, Hope it helps:)
Answer:
Explanation:
All the shown formulae in the choice list are recursive formulae instead of explicit formulae.
Explicit formulae that represent arithmetic sequences are of the form:
That kind of formula permits to determine any term knowing the first term, the number of the term searched, and the common difference (d).
On the other hand, the recursive formulae let you to calculate one term knowing the previous term and the difference.
In this case, the difference in the number of squares of two consecutive terms is:
- differece = number of squares in the second layer - number of squares in the first layer.
Then, the recursive formula is:
