Question

In a sequence, each number is 2 less than double the previous number. morgan finds the number directly before 48 in the sequence. his answer has two digits. he adds these two digits to get a new number. what is the new number

Answer 1

The new number in the sequence is found to be 7.

What is the term of the sequence?

In mathematics, a sequence is a list of components, usually numbers, where the components' order is important. Here, everything fits into a predetermined pattern.

A sequence can be arranged in either ascending or descending order.

There are certain unique sequences, including the triangular number series, square number sequence, cube number sequence, geometric sequence, Fibonacci sequence, and harmonic sequence.

According to the question, the sequence follows the pattern:

Next number=2(Previous number)-2

On substituting the values,

48=2(Previous number)-2

50=2(Previous number)

Previous number=$\frac{50}{2}$=25

New number=sum of digits of the previous number in the sequence

                     =2+5

                     =7
