9 Consider the two rules for creating number patterns. Each rule begins with a number
called the input and creates a number called the output.
Rule 1
Multiply the input by 3. Then subtract 1 from the result to get the output.
Rule 2
Multiply the input by 2. Then add 1 to the result to get the output.
Which input and output table works for both rules?

a. Input Output b. Input Output

2 5 3 8

c. Input Output d. Input Output

4 9 5 14
