Question

For a tile pattern with the rule y = 6x + 4 (where x represents the figure number and y

represents the number of tiles), which figure number has 40 tiles in it? How do you know?​

Answer 1

figure 6

Explanation:

First you plug in the 40 into y which gives you 40=6x+4. Then, you subtract 4 on both sides and you're left with 36=6x so you divide 6 and x=6
