The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.
The equation for this problem is:
2x+8=26
the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:
2x=18
after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:
x=9
Max is 9 years old.
Factors are things that you multiply so p is a factor and q-1 is a factor
You can see how the difference between two consecutive terms is constantly increasing:
So, for the next terms we'll have to add +9, +11, +13 and so on.
Also, note that 
is obtained by adding the 2nd odd number to 
, 
is obtained by adding the 3rd odd number to , and so on.
So, the recursive formula is
For the explicit formula, recall that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared. Taking into account the fact that we're not starting from 1, we have
