Patterning - Term Value from Equation for Decreasing Arithmetic Pattern (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on evaluating terms from equations representing decreasing arithmetic patterns. Students are provided with specific values of \( n \) and must apply these values to correctly formulated arithmetic sequence equations to calculate the term value. Each problem is structured with an equation and a given positional value \( n \) for which learners need to compute the associated term in the sequence. The equations are formatted in the typical arithmetic sequence structure, requiring subtraction operations to find the decrease between terms. This set of problems enhances understanding of arithmetic sequences and their practical applications in pattern recognition.
