To determine the nth term, we must create a function.
f(n) = 1st term + common difference (n - 1)
n = term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence
common difference = the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.
based on the above sequence, the 1st term is 2, its common difference is 3.
f(n) = 2 + 3(n-1)
Assuming we are looking for the 5th term
f(5) = 2 + 3(5-1)
= 2 + 3(4)
= 2 + 12
f(5) = 14 as you can see in the above sequence 14 is the 5th term.
For any other value of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number of the term and solve the equation.
Im sorry, it is too blurry. I cannot read it.
8 gorrilas
Explanation:
The ratio of monkeys to gorrila = 5:2
This means there are 5 monkeys for every 2 gorrilas
when there are 20 monkeys,
let the number of gorrilas = x
5 monkeys = 2 gorrilas
20 monkeys = x
cross multiply:
5(x) = 20(2)
5x = 40
divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 40/5
x = 8
Hence, if there were 20 monkeys, we would have 8 gorrilas.
So you always want y in front of the equation no matter what so you have x +2y=5 so you take the x and you subtract it to both side making it 2y= 5-x so then you just have to take the 2 to both side so you have to divide it and you will get y= 5/2-x/2 so then to graph it you start with the b which is -x/2 so you go down -1 and over 2 and place your dot adn then go up 5 over 2 and then place you dot and connect them together
Answer: x-9
Step-by-step explanation: because x is lower than Tony's money you would have to subtract x (Michelle's money) from Tony's ( which is 9)
This is why the answer would be X-9
Hope this helps!!!
