Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first pattern, there were 6 sticks
In the second pattern, there were 10 sticks.
In the third pattern, there were 14 sticks.
Based on the pattern, we see that each time, 4 more sticks are added and that the initial amount of stick is 6.
Thus: the equation for how many sticks there would be in pattern n is:
# of sticks in pattern n = 6 + 4n
