Your friend asks you to make friendship bracelets and will give you 6 nickels for the first bracelet. You agree to help if she multiplies your payment by 6 for each bracelet completed. After 2 bracelets, you will receive 36 nickels, and after 3 bracelets, you will receive 216 nickels.

Complete and solve the equation that finds the number of nickels she will pay you after making the 8th bracelet.

[ ] [ ]= number of nickels for 8th bracelet

Payment for the 8th bracelet = [ ]
nickels
