does 131 - 254 = 254 - 377 ??

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Sorry i lost connection And yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then there is a common difference between terms ... what does this tell us about the sequence?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Oh! That -1.23 is added to each number in the sequence!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, +1.23 yeah

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

oh okay lol :D 3.77+1.23=5.00

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

thnx

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Would you mind helping me with one more?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

It's a similar question kinda

OpenStudy (amistre64):

would i mind? prolly

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

lol

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

I'm guessing I would use the same formula. (YAY! SS just came up again! Good job Admin team!)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lets call d the common difference: a1 = -5 + 0d a2 = -5 + 1d a3 = -5 + 2d a4 = -5 + 3d notice that for every an, the difference is multiplied by n-1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when n = 10 a10 = -5 + 9d and we know a10 = 13 so solve for d

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

YAY! :D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct :)

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Thanks again! God Bless! :D
