An arithmetic sequence is defined
recursively by
an= an-1 - 5.5. The
first term of the
sequence is 7.5. Write
the explicit formula
for the sequence.

an = 7.5 - 5.5(n - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d = -5.5.

The first term is given as 7.5.

Explicit formula is

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

= 7.5 + (n - 1)-5.5

= 7.5 - 5.5(n - 1)

entering that problem on the tube might get you an answer

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
