Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im really confuused

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

When you are confused in math the first thing is to try and understand what the question is asking for :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think N is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you working with patterns?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

They want the values of m and n that will be in agreement with the others, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Try to think in terms of $$\Huge y=f(x)$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Your job is to figure out the function f

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First find out the relation between x and y, find out that particular pattern between the two pairs of values...and thats it!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I only need M ive been here for 3 hours now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you get for N?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

y = 2x + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 3 for N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N is zero...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for your help people

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really appreciate it

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

thanks for trying so hard to learn something new :)

The pattern goes N, 4, 6, 10, 12. What is 6-4 and 10-6 and 12-10? The pattern may go +2, +4, +2 if you are starting at 4. So to go backwards you would guess that a +4 comes before +2. 4-4 = N N= 0 Try to do that some thing for M.
