A ski resort charges Susan a flat fee of $65 to rent skis. It also charges her a daily rate of $22 for a ski lift pass to get skiers back up the mountain. Let d = the number of days a ski lift pass is rented. If Susan is charged $175, which equation represents her situation?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
