I like to reduce everything by half if I don't already know the answer.

It just so happens that is the reduced fraction.
All I did was halve 18, which is 9, and halve 34, which is 17.
Answer:
x=11/5, or x=2.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
9-3(x+4)=2(x-3)-8
9-3x-12=2x-6-8
9-12-3x=2x-14
-3-3x=2x-14
-3-3x-2x=-14
-3-5x=-14
5x=-3-(-14)
5x=-3+14
5x=11
x=11/5
x=2.2

I would say smaller than because you would be dilating the image by a number less than 1, which is making the image smaller.
The 30th term of this sequence would be 248
