Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

82

Discussion:

The pattern shown is

y = 10x + 2

(this was my suspicion and I verified it works for the table shown)

The 8th term is therefore 10(8) + 2 = 82

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

As x goes from 1 to 2, y increases by 10 from 12 to 22

As x goes from 2 to 3, y increases by 10 from 22 to 32

We increase by 10 each time x increases by 1

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

where a1 is the first term which is 12

d is the common difference or the number we add each time which is 10

n is the term we are looking for which is 8

a8 = 12 +10 (8-1)

     =12 + 10 *7

       12+70

     82
