A bike rental is $20 for a day and $3 for an hour. Caroline rented a bike for 2 days and 2 hours. Write and equation you could use to find how much money, M, caroline spent.

M = 20(2) + 3(2) = $46

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation that could be used to find the amount of money spent

The rental charges $20 for a day and $3 for an hour

For 2 days, amount is 2 * 20 = $40

for 2 hours , amount is 3 * 2 = $6 hours

The amount Spent M will be;

M = 20(2) + 3(2) = $46

, and

for

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
