Question 586120: I need to solve this function to the nth term.
x = 1; y = 8
x = 2; y = 14
x = 3; y = ?
x = ?; y = 24
x = ?; y = 28
x = 6; y = ?
I am noticing several patterns. Y increases by six and then maybe 4?

I need to solve this function to the nth term.
Assuming y = 6x+2 you would get:
x = 1; y = 8
x = 2; y = 14
x = 3; y = 20
x = ?; y = 24
Solve for "x":
24 = 6x + 2
6x = 22
x = 11/3
-----------------
x = ?; y = 28
28 = 6x+2
6x = 26
x = 13/3
---------------------
x = 6; y = 6*6+2 = 38
