Answer:

18

Explanation:

It seems like for this pattern, as the x-value(base value) increases, the corresponding y-value(value changing with the base value) increases by 2 given that the function starts with a y-intercept of 8. So at the value 0, the corresponding number would be 8. So in this case, by creating a function regrading this information we can solve for the corresoponding value of 5: y = 2x + 8

y = 2 * 5 + 8

y = 10 + 8

y = 18

5 = 18

Another way to approach this is just by following the pattern given to us in the description. We see that the pattern starts at 10, and increases by 2 for each increasing base value. Therefore, if 4 = 16, then 16 + 2 = 5, so 5 = 18.
