A linear sequence starts, a + 2b, a + 6b, a + 10b …….. …….. The 2nd term has value 8. The 5th term has value 44. Work out the values of a and b

As it states that it is a "linear" sequence. You can identify the pattern and recognise that the 4th and 5th terms will be, a+14b and a+18b respectively.As the 2nd term has the value 8. This means ...
