Use inductive reasoning to predict the next line in the pattern. Then perform the arithmetic to determine whether your conjecture is correct. 8(5) = 10(5 - 1) 8(5) + 8(25) = 10(25 - 1) 8(5) + 8(25) + 8(125) = 10(125 - 1)8(5) + 8(25) + 8(125) + 8(625) = 10(625 - 1)

Question

A. 8(5) + 8(25) + 8(125) + 8(625) + 8(3125) = 10(3125 - 1)
B. 8(5) + 8(25) + 8(125) + 8(625) + 8(1250) = 10(1250 - 1)
C. 8(5) + 8(25) + 8(125) + 8(625) + 8(3125) = 8(3125 - 1)
D. 8(5) + 8(25) + 8(125) + 8(625) + 8(5000) = 10(5000 - 1)
