Just list the items in the picture from least to greatest

To put the expressions in order from least value to greatest, we have to plug in the values for a and b first. Then, we must follow order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) to evaluate the expressions. Here's how:

a = 2, b = 5

Farthest left:

The value for the expression to the farthest left is 27.

Middle left:

The value for the expression to the middle left is 4.

Middle right: 

The value for the expression to the middle right is 17.

Farthest right:

The value for the expression to the farthest right is 15.

Now, we can order the values (27, 4, 17, and 15) from least to greatest:
4<15<17<27
Since we know which expressions equal those values, we can swap them in and order them appropriately:


Therefore, the answers are:
1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

Hope this helps!

It depends on how n is defined. Since n is not specified, I will. Usually these sorts of series start with 0 or 1 -- most commonly 1 so that is where I will start.

a1 = 5n - 8
a1 = 5*1 - 8
a1 = 5 - 8
a1 = -3

a2 = 5n - 8
a2 = 5*2 - 8
a2 = 10 - 8
a2 = 2 

a3 = 5n - 8
a3 = 5*3 - 8
a3 = 15 - 8
a3 = 7

a4 = 12
A5 = 17
