What number should be placed in the box to help complete the division calculation? long division setup showing an incomplete calculation. 13 is in the divisor, 3302 is in the dividend, and 2 hundreds and 5 tens is written in the quotient. 2600 is subtracted from 3302 to give 702. An unknown value represented by a box is being subtracted from 702.

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,

mrb
