Answer:
The nth term is: 
a40 = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.
The nth term of a sequence is given by:

In which
is the first term and d is the common difference.
1/4,1/2
This means that:

1/4
This means that 
The nth term is:


Then find a40.

So
a40 = 10
Y = 7x - 48
use slope formula so, y2 - y1 over x2 - x1 to get your m value or your slope which is 7. then plug in the slope and a random set of point so I used (6, -6). -6 = 6(7) + b, simplify.
-6 = 42 + b, subtract 42 which leaves you with b= -48. hope this helps :)
It might be B I might not be right
The sum of four times a number and the quotient of the number and five subtracted by one:
4x+(x/5)-1
Sum means the answer to an addition problem.
Quotient means the answer to a division problem.
