The first five terms of a pattern are given below. 38, 41, 44, 47, 50 Which expression can be used to determine the nth term of the pattern? A. 35 + 3n B. 41 - 3n C. 40 - 2n D. 36 + 2n

A

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 38

d = 41 - 38 = 3

nth term = 38 + 3(n-1)

= 38 + 3n - 3

= 35 + 3n

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
