Answer:
3 or 6/2
Step-by-step explanation:
when there are two subtraction signs it can be taken as a plus sign
1/2 + 5/2
1/2 + 5/2 = 6/2
6 / 2 = 3
3 is your answer
In the pattern, the values are increasing by 22 each time so for the 117th term you take 57 + 22 = 79
So, 117= 79
Do 12x-9 + 141 = 180 (add -9 and 4)
12x +132= 180 (Subtract 132 from 180)
12x =48 (Divide 48 by 12)
x=4
