Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to do this operation:
(16/4) x 3 = 4 x 3 = $12
Step-by-step explanation:
arithmetic sequence.
an = an-1 + c = a1 + (n-1)c
c is in our case 2 (every new shape has 2 more vertices).
we have a a1 = 3.
an = 3 + 2(n-1)
so,
a21 = 3 + 2(20) = 3 + 40 = 43
the 21st shadow will have 43 vertices.
Times both sides by (x-2)
x+3=5(x-2)
x+3=5x-10
minus x both sides
3=4x-10
add 10 both sides
13=4x
divide by 4
13/4=x
