Answer:
x = 3 / 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify first:
x - 1 / 16 = 1 / 8
x = 3 / 16
If the length of the insect is 1.25 cm, then 1.2 is less than 1.25. This is because in counting 1.2 comes before 1.25
If the pattern continues, so that each term is separated by a distance of 3, then the sequence is given by the recursive rule

From this definition, we can write
in terms of
:




and so on, up to

(notice how the subscript on <em>a</em> and coefficient on 3 add up to <em>n</em>)
or
