Can you guys help me out

a. S = 3n + 2

b. There while be 62 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the first term of this sequence is 5. To figure out the equation, subtract the following term from the previous. Do you see a common difference?

8 - 5 = 3

11 - 8 = 3

14 - 11 = 3

We're seeing a constant difference of 3 (which makes this an arithmetic sequence), but the first term is 5. That mean something is being added to make the first term 5. Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2. This means 2 is being added to every multiple of 3, which leads us to the equation: S = 3n + 2.

To find the 20th term of this sequence, substitute n for 20 and do the operations.

S = 3(20) + 2

Multiply 3 by 20, then add 2.

S = 62

The 20th term will have 62 squares.

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

hope this
