Answer 3

Answer 4

that is incorrect. Try again

Answer 5

E) multiply by 3 and subtract 1

Answer 6

that is correct. Good job

Answer 7

We know it's not the first choice because then it'll be `1,2,3,4,5, etc.`

It can't be the second choice because it'll be `1, 10, 19, etc.`

The third choice is incorrect because 2*2=4 and there is no four. e.e

1*3= 3

When you subtract 1, you get 2.
2*3=6

Subract 1= 5

And so on...
The last choice is your answer.
