Answer 1

whats lko lol

Answer 2

idk i just typed something lol how do you solve for a?

Answer 3

oh lol...to solve for a you want to get it on one side of the equal sign by itself...

Answer 4

so would you divide 200 by 1-0.15?

Answer 5

to make it a = 200/1-.15

Answer 6

how would you cancel the 1-0.15 on the side that it's originally on

Answer 7

subtract a/1-0.15?

Answer 8

but if thats the case you would cancel out the a too so idk

Answer 9

you want the a to stay on that side...so in order to get rid of the 1-0.15...you have to multiply a/1-0.15 by 1-0.15 and that will cancel it out and leave you with the a...then you have to multiply the other side by 1-0.15

Answer 10

ok so you have a=200(1-0.15)

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

which equals 170

Answer 13

yes ma'am...now in order to find the second term you have to multiply your answer by the common ratio and that will give you the second term

Answer 14

ok i think i got it

Answer 15

just remember when you are trying to get one side by itself you just do the opposite of whatever you are trying to move..
