Write an equation in the form $y=\ldots$ suggested by the pattern in the table.

$x$	$y$
$0$	${10}$
$1$	${11}$
$2$	${12}$
$3$	${13}$

Solution

Looking for a similar relationship in each row is one approach to pattern recognition. Here, the $y$ -value in each row is $10$ greater than its corresponding $x$ -value. So the equation ${y = x+10}$ describes the pattern. Of course, there are more complicated patterns to explore, as we’ll see in the next exercise.
