The equation for this sequence is:

a_n = a_n-1 + 4(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, a_n is the value of the term, and a_n-1 is the value of the term before a_n. This makes the next number:

a₆ = a₅ + 4(6 - 1)
a₆ = 41 + 4(5)
a₆ = 61

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 6 and 8 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{9 x 4}{6 x 4} \) + \( \frac{4 x 3}{8 x 3} \)

\( \frac{36}{24} \) + \( \frac{12}{24} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{36 + 12}{24} \) = \( \frac{48}{24} \) = 2

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $700
i = 0.04 x $700
i = $28

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.
