Answer:
The general equation following the pattern becomes is 7 + (n - 1)×2
Where, n = The figure number - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern in the question can be described as follows;
Figure 2 = (5 + 2) squares boxes = 7 squares boxes
Figure 3 = (5 + 2 + 2) squares boxes
Figure 4 = (5 + 2 + 2 + 2) squares boxes
Therefore, the number of squares boxes per figure, form an arithmetic progression (a + (n - 1)d) with the first term a = 7, the common difference d = 2, and the n = the nth term of the series, such that the general equation following the pattern becomes;
7 + (n - 1)×2.
Step 1 :
(23 x 2 - 5) • x 3
Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
Factoring: 8 x 2-5
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Answer:
(8 x 2 - 5) • x 3
Ask your teacher .... no kidding but really just convert the numbers
