Answer:
See attached image for the drawing of the first four trees (circled in green)
The patterns is:
x = 2+3n and y= 3+2n
Position of 7th tree is: (20,15) (circled in orange in the image)
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting at the location (2,3) the next x and y positions are given by:
x = 2+3n since the horizontal position needs to be increased by 3 units on each iteration,
and y= 3+2n since the vertical position needs to be increased by 2 units on each iteration
being n= 1 through 6 (to account for the next 6 trees that need to be planted)
With such pattern, the location of the seventh tree would be:
x = 2 + 3*6 =2 + 18 = 20
y = 3 + 2*6 = 3 + 12 = 15
That is, the point (20,15) on the plane.

This question seems to me to be an exercise in applying the rule for a difference of squares in order to rewrite the difference of two relatively large numbers as the "simpler" product of other integers.
To solve this problem, we should set up an equation, letting x be the unknown number.
9 + x = 0
Next, we should subtract 9 from both sides to cancel out the +9 on the left side of the equation and get the variable alone.
x = -9.
Therefore, the number you are looking for is -9.
