Ted's debt is 11 less than half of Mike's debt. If we let
t
represent Mike's debt, write an algebraic expression for Ted's debt.

an = 12 + 8(n − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to use the arithmetic recursive formula: f(n) = f(n - 1) + d

F can be anything. So we replace f with a: = + d(n - 1)

He has 12 logs after his first stack and there are 60 logs in total, so you would replace with 12.

You will replace f with 8 since that is the rate of change.
