Jon used a gift card to pay for an $18 shirt. the remaining balance on the card is $28.write and solve an equation that represents this.

Take note that they spent $18 afterwards having $28 on the card so they're spending money off the card so...

x-18=28

would be the equation for this and to solve do the following.

First add 18 to both sides making the equation.

x=46

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x

unlimited solutions.

first, let's see what the pattern is.

58 - x = 47

46 - x = 36

x = 9

so this means that the term after 25 is 25 - 9:

the next term in the sequence is 16.
