Question

Nth term = 11n -3
find the 10th term

Answer 1

Explanation:

11n - 3 = 0

We simplify the equation to an easily understood form.

11n - 3 = 0

The terms containing n are shifted to the left, and those that don't are shifted to the right.

+11n = 0+3

Both the left and right sides of the equation are made simpler.

+11n = +3

n = 0.2727272727272

Answer 2

10th term = -16

Explanation:

1. 11n
2. 11 - 3 = 8n
3. 8 - 3 = 5n
4. 5 - 3 = 2n
5. 2 - 3 = -1n
6. -1 - 3 = -4n
7. -4 - 3 = -7n
8. -7 - 3 = -10n
9. -10 - 3 = -13n
10. 13 - 3 = -16n
