PLSSS HELP What is the formula for the following arithmetic sequence? -2, 3, 8, 13, ... an = -2n + 3 an = -2n + 7 an = 5n + 3 an = 5n - 7

  an = 5n -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Try the offered formulas with n= 1 and see which gives you the first term of the sequence.

an = -2n +3

  -2(1) +3 = 1 . . . . not -2

an = -2n +7

  -2(1) +7 = 5 . . . . not -2

an = 5n +3

  5(1) +3 = 8 . . . . not -2

an = 5n -7

  5(1) -7 = -2 . . . . this is the formula you want

If you recognize the common difference of the sequence to be 5, then you can automatically eliminate any formulas that don't contain 5n.

i am thinking c. sorry if im wrong .

step-by-step explanation:

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
