The pattern here is the number times 3 then plus 1
We can check this by plugging it in.
1×3=3
3+1=4
4 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
We can continue to check this with the rest of our sequence.
4×3=12
12+1=13
13 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
13×3=39
39+1=40
40 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
40×3=120
120+1=121
121 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
We can find the next numbed in the sequence by continuing the patter
121×3=363
363+1=364
So the next number in the sequence is 364
I'm sure it's only 15 miles :)
Hope that helps
Answer:
x = -13/5
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number
8x + 6 = 3x - 7
move variables to left and numbers to right
8x - 3x = - 7 -6
5x = -13
x = -13/5
