Answer:
12 should be 41
Step-by-step explanation:
12) the pattern is an increase by 5 each time. This would mean the 8th term is 40. However, it starts at 1, so you should add 1 to this answer, making it 41. This pattern is y=5x+1 if x is that number in the pattern and y is the answer.
The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:
4 / 2 - 1
The proper order of operations would be:
Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1
But if subtracting was done before dividing:
4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4
So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.
The answer is, A) No solution
