The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
using the rule :
=
+ 7
sequence A with a₁ = 11
a₂ = a₁ + 7 = 11 + 7 = 18
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = 18 + 7 = 25
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32
sequence A is generated using the rule
sequence B with a₁ = 17
a₂ = a₁ + 7 = 17 + 7 = 24
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 31 + 7 = 38
sequence B is not generated using the rule
sequence C with a₁ = - 15
a₂ = - 15 + 7 = - 8
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = - 8 + 7 = - 1
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = - 1 + 7 = 6
sequence C is not generated using the rule
sequence D with a₁ = - 9
a₂ = a₁ + 7 = - 9 + 7 = - 2
a₃ = a₂ + 7 = - 2 + 7 = 5
a₄ = a₃ + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12
sequence D is not generated using the rule
