Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
So, to answer this problem, I'll use the reverse method.
31 - 4 = 27,
So how many times, can 5 go into 27?
The closest factor of 5 to 27 is 25.
5 can go in to 27, 5 times.
Continuing on, there is a 2 left over, so the answer to your question is
x = 5
5 · 5 - 4 = 31
Let me know if I am incorrect and I will attempt to find the right answer for you.

Answer:
503
Step-by-step explanation:
For an arithmetic sequence, the n-th term is found by
To find (the common difference) we can simply subtract one of the terms by the last, for example:
The common difference must be the same throughout the entire sequence, so we can do it once more just to be sure:
We also have to know that stands for the first term of the sequence, which in this case is 311.
Now that we know this, let's find the 32nd term
Good luck!
