Answer:
Part A:
Each number in the pattern is 8 more than the previous number. (True)
The 8th number in the pattern would be 53. (True)
The 10th number in the pattern would be 77. (True)
Part B:
Tarik's statement is correct. His pattern follows the same rule as Savanna's pattern, which is to add 8 to each previous number to get the next number in the sequence. The fact that the two patterns have the same starting point and the same constant difference supports the conclusion that they have the same rule.
