Nicholas has cups of flour. One recipe for a cake he is making calls for cups of flour. He also needs 8 cups of flour for a cookie recipe. How much more flour will Nicholas need to make the cake and cookies?

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
