Answer: The next number in the given pattern is 11.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the next number in the following pattern :
1 5 3 7 5 9 7 . . .
Let a(n) denotes the n-th number of the give pattern.
Then, we see the following rule if followed by the consecutive terms :
Therefore, the next term will be the sum of the 7-th number and 4. That is
Thus, the next number in the given pattern is 11.
D. multiplying by .6 is what you always have left.
First, it is to be noted that the variable being used in this item is p. We get the value of 1/3 of p by multiplying 1/3 to p giving us p/3. Then, the word less means to subtract from p/3 the given value. Therefore, the final expression for this item is,
p/3 - 2
2x-10=2. (Answer=6)
2x=12 (you move the -10 to the other side of the equation to make it positive)
Then you divide by 2
2x divided by 2 equals x 12 divided by 2 is 6
So your number is 6. x=6
And you can check this by redoing the equation but putting 6 instead of x
2(6)-10=2
12-10=2
2=2
This equation is true therefore, your unknown number is 6
Since they only give you the y values in the table, it would be easier if you isolated the x in the rule:
y = x/4
Multiply both sides by 4
4y = x
Now you can simply substitute the y values into the rule to get the x
4(4) = 16
4(2) = 8
4(9) = 36
~~hope this helps~~
