Question

In a table of values for a pattern, P = 12 when n = 3.
Determine the equation that might represent the pattern.

Select one:
a. P = 4(n+6)
b. P =4(6 - n)
c. P = 4n + 6
d. P = 24 - 3n

Answer 1

Have you considered substituting the given value of n into each equation and seeing which produces the given value for P?

Answer 2

hmm no not yet

Answer 3

idk..

Answer 4

Well, do it!

a. P = 4(n+6)

4(3+6) = 4*9 = 18 and that is not 12

Try the next one.

Answer 5

ohhhh ok
