A bar diagram can be used to represent algebraic expressions or to give examples.
This is easy, if adding the first number to the second number you get 70.2 then if you want to find the middle number you will have to subtract 32.34 from 70.2 to get 37.86, now add that and 32.34 to check if it gives you 70.2.... When you add them you indeed get 70.2 so your work is correct meaning your middle number is 37.86
Hope this helped
One pattern is 22, 18, 14, 10, 6, 2 hope this helps just keep subtracting 4. You can go from the highest number to the lowest. Thanks for asking!
4(2x-7)=8x-28
4(-4x+18)=-16x+72
(8x-28)-(-16x+73)
24x+45
