Find the 8th term in the sequence with this explicit formula: c(n) = -6 + 5(n - 1)

We are given this explicit formula :

In order to find eighth term let us plug n as 8 in this formula:

subtracting 8-1 first using pemdas rule

multiplying 5 and 7

subtracting 35-6

c(8) = 29

So eighth term is 29.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
