Solve the following linear equations and identify the pattern in the sequence:

9) Step 1: Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. 7x + 9 = 58 7x = 58 - 9 7x = 49 Step 2: Divide by 7. x = (49)/(7) x = 7 Step 3: Compare with the given options. The correct option is C. The answer is C. 7 10) Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation. 6x + 4 = 40 6x = 40 - 4 6x = 36 Step 2: Divide by 6. x = (36)/(6) x = 6 Step 3: Compare with the given options. The correct option is D. The answer is D. 6 11) Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation. 7x + 10 = 101 7x = 101 - 10 7x = 91 Step 2: Divide by 7. x = (91)/(7) x = 13 Step 3: Compare with the given options. The correct option is D. The answer is D. 13 12) Step 1: Subtract 17 from both sides of the equation. 8x + 17 = 177 8x = 177 - 17 8x = 160 Step 2: Divide by 8. x = (160)/(8) x = 20 Step 3: Compare with the given options. The correct option is A. The answer is A. 20 13) Step 1: Identify the pattern in the sequence 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, ... The common difference is 23 - 20 = 3. Step 2: Add the common difference to the last term to find the next number. Next number = 32 + 3 = 35 Step 3: Compare with the given options. The correct option is B. The answer is B. 35 14) Step 1: Identify the pattern in the sequence 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, ... The common difference is 15 - 13 = 2. Step 2: Add the common difference to the last term to find the next number. Next number = 21 + 2 = 23 Step 3: Compare with the given options. The correct option is C. The answer is C. 23 15) Step 1: Identify the pattern in the sequence 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, ... The common difference is 14 - 9 = 5. Step 2: Add the common difference to the last term to find the next number. Next number = 29 + 5 = 34 The options for this question are not fully visible in the image.
