and can someone tell me how to make it a base number instead of typing ''base''

I am not sure about the answer nyan but @lgbasallote will surely help you in this!!
hope he helps!

lgbasallote · Answer

you right a_{base} in your equations editor i.e. $a_{1}$ is a_{1}

lgbasallote · Answer

you write* lol

anonymous · Answer

a_1?

lgbasallote · Answer

anyway the general formula is

$\Large a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d$

first thing you need to do is to find d...

you're going to perform arithmetic sequence twice...the firs is

$\large a_{17} = 13 + (n-1)d$

$\large -51 = 13 + (17-1)d$

$\large -51 - 13 = 16d$
$\large -64 = 16d$
d = -4

with that given info solve for $a_{35}$

hint: a_1 = 13
n = 35
d = -4

i dont quite understand the formula but to be honest i was put in an online algebra 2 class thats way too advanced for me i have ADHD and dyslexia, i will give medles for the answers, the sooner i finish this the sooner you guys can get rid of me lol :)
