The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.

It's pretty easy just do some subtraction.
Actually look and pay attention in class this is like grade 1 math.
Answer:
20 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this continue the line of the top of the rectangle so you split the figure into a triangle and a rectangle. The dimensions of the rectangle would be 8 by 2, so 8 * 2 = 16. Next, the dimensions of the triangle would be (4 - 2) by (8 - 4) = 2 by 4. The area would then be 2 * 4 = 8/2 = 4.
All you have to do now is add those two areas together, 16 + 4 = 20 square meters.
Hi. 2 (×+1)=3×-1 ; 2x+2= 3x-1 ;
2x-3x= -1-2 ; -x = -3 ; x=3. Hope this helps.
