Question 1035646: the sum of the seventh terms of a linear sequence is 38 and the ninth term is 37. find the sequence ? Found 3 solutions by Boreal, MathTherapy, ikleyn:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a7=a1+6d=38
a9=a1+8d=37
subtract the second from the first
-2d=1
d=(-1/2)
substitute back in
38=a1+-3; a1=41
a7=38
a9=37
41+(-1/2)an is the sequence
