Answer:
perfect square (4x - 3)^2
Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we have to look for a pattern.

When you see pyramids like these, they usually tell you to add/multiply the two numbers to get a third number that goes on top. Here, we can see 3 and 4 on the bottom left hand corner. The third number on top of both 3 and 4 is 7. 3 + 4 = 7. Let's check 4 and 5, the middle two numbers. 4 + 5 = 9, and that number is on top of 4 and 5. Therefore, we can confirm that this is an addition pyramid.

Since 7 + 9 is 16 and 9 + 8 is 17, all we need to do in order to get the final number is to add 16 to 17.


Answer:
365 messages
Step-by-step explanation:
x = # text messages)
16.5 = 10 + .10(x - 300)
6.5 = .10x - 30
36.5 = .10x
x = 365

Answer:
The 12th term is 61
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that your a(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1) is correct; the rest is redundant (duplicative, unneeded).
To find the 12th term, substitute 12 for n in the above formula:
a(12) = -5 + 6(12 - 1) = -5 + 6(11) = 66 - 5, or 61
The 12th term is 61
