Find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression.
3n + 5
A.5,8,11,14
B.8,11,14,17
C.3,6,9,12
D.0,8,11,14
n Tn
1 3*1+5 = 8
and so on
actually, assuming one choice is correct, only B is a candidate.
I have a similar problem, how do I solve an equation like that. there doesn't seem to be an answer, and that isn't an option.

Hmm, let me compute that for you.
For the expression 3n + 5:
When n = 0, 3(0) + 5 = 5.
When n = 1, 3(1) + 5 = 8.
When n = 2, 3(2) + 5 = 11.
When n = 3, 3(3) + 5 = 14.
So the first four terms of the sequence are 5, 8, 11, and 14.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: 5, 8, 11, 14.
To find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n + 5, we can substitute different values of n into the expression.
Let's find the terms one by one:
When n = 0:
3n + 5 = 3(0) + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5
When n = 1:
3n + 5 = 3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
When n = 2:
3n + 5 = 3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
When n = 3:
3n + 5 = 3(3) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14
So, the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n + 5 are 5, 8, 11, and 14.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 5, 8, 11, 14.
To find the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n + 5, we can substitute different values for n and calculate the corresponding sequence terms using the given expression.
Let's substitute the first four positive integers (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) into the expression 3n + 5:
For n = 1: 3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
For n = 2: 3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
For n = 3: 3(3) + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14
For n = 4: 3(4) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17
So, the first four terms of the sequence represented by the expression 3n + 5 are 8, 11, 14, and 17.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 8, 11, 14, 17.
