What is the 3rd term of the linear sequence below? 22 18, 14, 10, 6

As we can see, what we are doing is substracting 4 from one term to the next:

22 - 4 = 18

18 - 4 = 14

14 - 4 = 10

10 - 4 = 6

Knowing this and that we start on 22, we can say that for n term we have:

So, if we're searching the thirs term, we replace n by 3 (we can also see it in the question):

=

So the third term is 14.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
