Answer:
The common difference is -5/4
T(n) = T(0)  - 5n/4, 
where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4
Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term
T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
T(n) = T(0) + n*d
Let
S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240
S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220
S2 - S1 
= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)
= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d
= 4(4)d 
= 16d
Since S2=220,  S1 = 240
220-240 = 16d
d = -20/16 = -5/4
Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The fourth one:  Gavin has one and thirteen fourteenths buckets of water. Daven has one and three fourteenths buckets of water. Together they have three and two fourteenths buckets of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gavin = 1 13/14
Daven = 1 3/14
1 13/14 + 1 3/14 = 2  16/14
2 16/14 = 3 2/14 = three and two fourteenths

Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
what do you think, when you look at the examples given in the problem definition ?
don't you see the pattern, that f(x) = x+2 ?
f(1) = 1+2 = 3
f(2) = 2+2 = 4
f(3) = 3+2 = 5
so, if we follow this assumption, then
f(-10) = -10 + 2 = -8
