Fill in the blank to complete the equation below. 99 + 33 = 11(?+3)

? = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

you know 99 + 33 = 132 so you can substitute that: 132 = 11 (? + 3). im going to change ? into x for now: 132 = 11 (x + 3). then distribute the 11 so 132 = 11x + 33. then subtract 33 from both sides (99 = 11x) and divide both side by 11 (x = 9) and you get 9!

hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
