Question

Write the first 6 terms of each pattern. a) Start at 100. Subtract 6 each time. b) Start at 10. Alternately, add 5 then subtract 2.

Answer 1

Answer:  The first 6 terms startng with the first term already given for each question are a) 100, 96. 90, 84, 78,72    b)    13, 16, 19,22,25, respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

A) first 6 terms

a) Start at 100. Subtract 6 each time

First term = 100

2nd term = 100-6= 96

3rd term = 96-6=90

4th term= 90- 6= 84

5th term = 84-6= 78

6th term 78-6= 72

100, 96. 90, 84, 78,72.

b) Start at 10. Alternately, add 5 then subtract 2

First term = 10

2nd term = 10+5 -2= 13

3rd term = 13+5-2=16

4th term= 16+5-2=19

5th term = 22+5-2= 25

10, 13, 16, 19,22,25
