Answer:
The initial distance between Wade and Alexandra is 240ft.
They walk towards each other.
Alexandra walks twice as fast as Wade.
Now, because they are walking towards each other, when the distance walked by both of them equals 240 ft, they will meet.
Then:
if Wade walks z ft, Alexandra walks 2*z ft.
So we have the equation:
Distance that Wade walked + Distance that Alexandra walked = 240ft
z + 2*z = 240ft
3*z = 240ft
z = 240ft/3 = 80ft
They will meet when Wade walks 80ft.

In simple words you just find what is being added to each term in order to get the next term. Subtracting 17 by 12 you get 5, 22 minus 17 is 5 as well. Now that what is being added is found, you go by the last term given which is 27. You keep adding 5 to the number until you get to the 22nd term which would result in 117. If you would want to know the equation in order for it to be plugged in then you would use f(x)= 7+5x . You would want to use this equation instead of f(x)= 12+5x because putting 1 as x would make it equal to 17 which is NOT the first term but the second.
