On Monday, the price of a share stock was $79. It fell $3 each day for 11 consecutive days. What expression could you use to find the price of the stock on any one of those days?

The equation would be y=79-3x

You could use the Arithmetic Explicit formula, which is a_n = a1 + (n-1)d
a_n=nth term
a1 = first term
n = # of terms
d = common difference

Using this, you would find that the price of the share stock would be $52 on the 11th day.

Hope I helped! Good luck! :)
