Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

a15 = -53, a16 = -5

a) an = -725 - 48(n - 1)
b) an = -725 + 48(n + 1)
c) an = -725 + 48(n - 1)
d) an = -725 - 48(n + 1)

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
