How to solve a variable?

What is the explicit formula for this sequence? -7, -4, -1, 2, a.) an = 8 + (b - 1)3 b.) an = -7 + (n - 1)3 c.) an = 3 + (n -1) (-7) d.) an = -7 + (n - )

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.
