So the change in between terms is 5 so you would put 5x, then for the first term, which is 2, 5*1(x)(because it's first term) then the difference between 5-2(because it's the 2nd term) So you would plug 100 in for x so 5(100)-3=497. Hope this helped!
The answer is 20

In this particular case, you just need to find the difference between what Casey earn hourly with his total earning..
The hourly wage that Casey earned in 26 hours:
$ 4.55 x 26 = 118.3
The total amount that casey earned in 26 hours:
$898.55
So, the amount that Casey earned through tips:
$898.55 - $118.3 = $780.25
For example, if we use 5+3=8.
If you change it to 3+5, it still equals 8.
Therefore, 3+5=5+3 because at the end, they both have equal value aka both end up with 8 using the same numbers. (goes by the rule a+b=b+a)
None of the factors shown will give you the above number. In order to get the numbers that are on top, you would need two x's being multiplied by each other to get the x^2 value. Since none of the options have that, it is impossible to achieve that.
