Hi!
The guess and check method is where we fill in the values and check to see if it is correct.
A. x = 6
2 · 6 + 8 = 6 · 6 - 12
Solve
12 + 8 = 36 - 12
20 = 24
Incorrect.
B. x = 4
2 · 4 + 8 = 6 · 4 - 12
Solve
8 + 8 = 24 - 12
16 = 12
Incorrect.
C. x = 3
2 · 3 + 8 = 6 · 3 - 12
Solve.
6 + 8 = 18 - 12
14 = 6
Incorrect.
D. x = 5
2 · 5 + 8 = 6 · 5 - 12
Solve.
10 + 8 = 30 - 12
18 = 18
Correct!
The answer is D. x = 5

Answer:
f(1) = 3
f(n) = f(n-1) - 1
Otherwise,
