Seven times the difference of some number and 1 amounts to the quotient of 168 and 12

7 (x - 1) = 14

gives:   x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

According to Given conditions:

According to given scenario:

7 (x - 1) = 14

Dividing both sides by 7

(x - 1) =2

Adding 1 on both sides:

x -1 +1 = 2 + 1

x = 3

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
