Question

Write the 6th term of each pattern.
Start at 500. Alternatively add 50, then subtract 15.

Answer 1

Start with 500 and alternate between adding 50 and subtracting 15 to find the 6th term of the pattern. The 6th term is 620.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 6th term of the pattern, we start with 500. We alternate between adding 50 and subtracting 15.

The first term is 500. To get the second term, we add 50 to 500, which gives us 550. To get the third term, we subtract 15 from 550, which gives us 535. To get the fourth term, we add 50 to 535, which gives us 585. To get the fifth term, we subtract 15 from 585, which gives us 570.

Now we apply the pattern again: add 50 to 570 to get the sixth term. The answer is 620.
