8. Misty created the number pattern below. 32, 28, 24, 20, ... If n represents a number in this pattern, which rule could be use

Answer:

An = 32 - (4*(n-1))

Step-by-step explanation:

the starting term for this pattern is 32 (which you will need to include in the "rule")

you also know that the next term is the previous term - 4

so!

we can write this pattern as

An = 32 - (4*(n-1))

An = any number of term in the pattern

- ex). A2 = 28, A3 = 24, etc

n = the nth term

- the 3rd term = 24, the fourth term = 20, etc

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{11}{21}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x+\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\(6)\dfrac{2}{3}-(6)\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x(6)+(6)\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad \text{(multiplied by LCD) }\\\\4 - 12x-21=-54x+5\qquad \text{(simplified)}\\\\-12x - 17 = -54x + 5\qquad \text{(added like terms)}\\\\42x-17=5\qquad \text{(added 54x to both sides)}\\\\42x = 22\qquad \text{(added 17 to both sides)}\\\\x=\dfrac{22}{42}\qquad \text{(divided both sides by 42)}\\\\x=\dfrac{11}{21}\qquad \text{(reduced the fraction)}$
