Using the sequence, you can tell that this is an arithmetic sequence. Therefore, the common difference is 14. The formula is 14n - 76. Using this, plug in n=10 and the answer comes out to be 64, or B.

B) 64, because all these numbers have a difference of 14, and it you keep going, the 10th term will be 64.
