Solve. Eight less than 7 times a number is 6. Find the number.

The word "less than" switches the order around.

So instead of 8 - 7n = 6, our equation is 7n - 8 = 6.

Solving from here, we add 8 to both sides to get 7n = 14.

Now divide both sides by 7 to get n = 2.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
