Me, ill mark as branliest the explicit formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is an = a1 + (n - 1) • d. what is the simple formula corresponding to the explicit formula if the first term of the sequence is -10 and the difference between terms in the sequence is 4?

hi there!

the answer will be d: 2

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
