Three friends were comparing scores on a social studies test henry got a score of 7/8 christian got a score of 75% in mckenzie got a score of 0.625 who got the highest score on the test explain

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

you,

step-by-step explanation:

given: the line in the graph passes through points (5,30) and (6,26).

then, the equation of line is:

now, put y=a(n) and x=n,

hence, option d is correct.
