Hello danahi25
Once more you received a reply without explanation. As this is the homework HELP board, let me explain it to you :
The posted number sequence question data is : 5 + blank x 4 = 41
Always multiply before adding or subtracting, so : 5 + (4 blank) = 41
Now deduct at both sides of the equal sign 5, so : (4 blank) = 41 - 5 = 36
Now divide both sides of the equal sign by 4, so : (4 blank)/4 = 36/4 ---> blank = 9
Check :
5 + 9 x 4 = 41 ---> 5 + 36 = 41 ---> So blank is indeed 9
