Ms. Bergstedt asked two students to come up with two different sequences. Jay created this sequence: The first term is 4 and each term after the first is 6 more than the preceding term. Joe created this sequence: The first term is 8 and each term after the first term is 5 more than the preceding term.

What is the value of the first term that they have in common?

Well, create an equation.


y=6x+4 and y=5x+8


From there you would go to Desmos.com and find out. The answer is 4,28.
This means it's the fourth term and the number is 28.
