What is y
27 y + 5 = -9

y =

Step-by-step explanation:

27y + 5 = -9 -> subtract -9 and 5

(-9) - 5 = -14

27y = -14 divide 27 and -14

(-14)/27

You are then left with

y =

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
