Draw the first through the fifth generations of squares, triangles and trapezoids. Count how many of each shape are needed to create each generation. Explain the pattern that you have observed. If a pattern does hold for each generation, how many tiles would be required at the 20th generation? How do you determine if the generation you are building is similar (by mathematical definition) to the other generations? What happens to area when you double the dimensions of a given polygon? Triple them? Describe the pattern and give the value needed for the 20th generation.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

explanation:

the loan estimate encourages consumers to shop. since it is the lenders who are required to issue a standardized loan estimate in a specific time frame, this way consumers are provided an opportunity to compare lenders and their products. otherwise consumer wouldn't know the benefits offered by other lenders.  

if a loan originator does not provide a loan estimate within 3 business days of receiving a completed loan application, that lender is in violation. lenders are required to issue a loan estimate within 3 days of applying for a loan or within 7 days prior to closing. having a loan estimate has following information.

not having loan estimate won't give you an idea of money to be borrowed.

you get to know your interest rates.

you also get to know if your interest rate can or may vary.

not having a good faith estimate can keep you unaware of aforementioned points.

well, because the $0.25 is an added cost depending on how many minutes, the answer would be y = 30 + 0.25x.
