Can you me turning this sentence into an equation i'm confused
two added to three times a number m is the same as 18

2+3*m=18 I think is what that sentence would be as an equation

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
