Answer:

nth term = 18 - 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = a + (n - 1)d

a1 = 15

d = -3

nth term = a + (n - 1)d

= 15 + (n - 1)-3

= 15 + (-3n + 3)

= 15 - 3n + 3

= 18 - 3n

nth term = 18 - 3n

For instance, if you want to find the 10th term

nth term = 18 - 3n

10th term = 18 - 3(10)

= 18 - 30

= -12

10th term = -12

How do you calculate angles on a straight line??

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight line is an angle whose vertex point(O) has a value of 180. The arms (OA & OB) of the straight line angle lies opposite to each other from the vertex point

Sum of all the angles in a straight line = 180

From this you can find the value of unknown angle, if other angles are given.

∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180
