The next number is 31.
3 + 1 = 4
4 + 2 = 6
6 + 3 = 9
9 + 4 = 13
13 + 5 = 18
18 + 6 = 24
24 + 7 = 31
When -3 is squared it becomes 9 then -3x5 is -15 so put that back into the equation 9-15+9= 4

Complete Question
A Chinese restaurant has the family special shown at right. What is the original average cost of the entrees if the discount is $2 per entree? ANY FOUR ENTREES FOR $20
Answer:
$7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that :
Any 4 entrees = $20,
And there is a discount of $2 per entree.
Let us represent the original average cost of entrees as = a
Hence, we have the algebraic expression
4(a - 2) = 20
4a - 8 = 20
4a = 20 + 8
4a = 28
Divide both sides by 4
4a/4 = 28/4
a = 7
Therefore, the original average cost of the entrees if the discount is $2 per entree is $7.
rise / run = slope
13 + 13 / - 5 + 8 = 26 / 3 = 8.666 or 8 and 2 / 3
