Question

Follow the rules to create two number sequences that go to the fifth term each. Rule 1: Multiply by 2 starting at 10. Rule 2: Subtract 4 starting from 24. What is the first term that appears in both sequences? (2 points) Group of answer choices 10 14 20 26

Answer 1

Explanation:

Created Sequences

S1: 10 20 40 80 150

s2:24 20

The first term that appears in both sequences is the second term. Both of them equal 20.

I don't think you have to go any further once you get the first term.

Method

S1: Multiply by 2 starting with 10.

10*2 = 20

20*2 = 40

S2: Start at 24 and subtract 4

24 - 4 = 20

20 - 4 = 16

16 - 4 = 12
