Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
Lets do this step by step.
1st.) what is 15% as a decimal
15% = 0.15
2nd.) multiply
220 x 0.15 = 33
3rd) we add that 33 and 220 since this its asking for the increase
220 + 33 = 253
Answer = 253

Picture is blurr. kindly upload clear pic
A discrete variable is a variable which may take only certain discrete values; for example the number of people in a household is a discrete variable which may have the value 1, 2, 3, etc. but cannot have intermediate values such as 1.473 or 3.732.
Choice d) can be represented by a discrete probability distribution, the other choices cannot be so represented.
An equation for the sentence would be g + 7 = 12, where g is the unknown number of gallons.
