The answer is most likly to be B.
Let number=x
(X/2)+6=8
First subtract 6 on each side to isolate X on one side.
(X/2)=2
Now to fully isolate X by itself, just multiply 2 on each side.
X=4
Answer: It would be 4b+44
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the distributive property! so a(b+c)=ab+ac
In this case–4b+44!
We technically can't tell! Just because a pattern (increasing by two faces for every new pattern) is true at first doesn't mean it holds forever.
However, if we make the assumption that the number of smiley faces continues to increase by 2, we have 4+87*2=177 as the answer, since we start with four and continue through a total of 87 more patterns, each of which adds two more faces.
