generate a few terms of the sequence using 
= 3n + 2
= ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5
= (3 × 2) + 2 = 8
= (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11
= (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14
= ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17
the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17
these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence
sum to n terms is calculated using 
= 
[ 2a + (n-1)d]
where a is the first term and d the common difference
d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and = 5
= 
[( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]
= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455
Lacey, because you have to do the opposite when you want to get rid of a number. She subtracted 20 because it was originally positive 20. Chris messed up and did not do the opposite, subtraction, and instead he added 20
3400 is 10 times greater than 340 because if you divide 3400 by 10, you will get 340. Letting you know that 3400 is 10(ten) times greater than 340.
Total students 5+16+42+22+5 = 90
0-1's probability is 5 / 90 = 5.5% about
2-3's probability is 16 / 90 = 17.7% about
4-5's probability is 42 / 60 = 46.6% about
6-7's probability is 22 / 90 = 24.4% about
8+'s probability is 5 / 90 = 5.5% about

The property that is illustrated is the Commutative Property Of Addition. This is because there are no parenthesis, the numbers switch order, and the answer remains the same.
