can someone help me with this:

Is 0 a term of the sequence 48,45, 42...

jimmysmith560 · Jan 16, 2022

Using

$0=48+\left(n-1\right)\left(-3\right)$
$48+\left(-3\right)\left(n-1\right)=0$
$48-3n+3=0$
$-3n=-51$
$n=17$

∴ 0 is a term of the sequence provided. It is the 17th term of the sequence.

I hope this helps!
