I think you have to estimate to a whole so 2 1/2 would be 3
As we can tell, the first number is 3, so we'll have a y-intercept in our equation and overall. Secondly, we can tell it's increasing by 7 each time, so we can tell that's the rate. But, it won't just be 3+7x, if we plug 1 in, it would be 10 and not 3. We need to put in the parenthesis 3+7(x-1). If we put one in, we would receive three. Let's make sure this works.
3+7(5-1)
3+7(4)
3+28
31
31 is the fifth terms.
So the expression would be 3+7(x-1).
Let's find the 100th term.
3+7(100-1)
3+7(99)
3+693
696
So the 100th term would be 696.
<u>Answer</u>
2,268
<u>Explanation</u>
<u>
</u>
<u>By grouping 378 ca</u>n be written as,
378 = 300 + 70 + 8
6× 378 = 6 × (300 + 70 + 8)
= (6×300)
+ (6×70) + (6×8)
= 1800
+ 420 + 48
= 2,268
