Hi
hi?
Sorry m new
hello
do you have a question???
How to run this sht
How to ask a question
Do you know the formula?
no
What this basically means is that the d=2 part is common difference so the difference between each number in the sequence is +2. If A1=20, we would just have to keep adding 2 until we get to A12. So since A1=20, A2=22, A3=24 and so on. Understand?
So plug Those things into the formula An=a1+d(n-1)

Plug those things into the formula I gave you, and solve. Tell me what you got as a result.
I don't know how to do that
An=a1+d(n-1) So, D=2 plug 2 into "D" in the formula. Plug 20 into A1 since 20 equals A1 and plus in 12 where you see An
Plug*
12=20+2(n-1)
Great! Now, distribute the 2 into the parentheses (Distributive Property).
12=20+2(-1)
No, it would be 12= 20+(2n-2)
ok then what else would i have to do
Then combine like terms- 12= 2n+18
ok anything else
Then solve for N, tell me what you got once ou solve for N
12= 20+18
No, slove the 2 step equation
n=-3
Yes, good. That should be your answer.
thank you
