<span>The next number should be 4. If you look at every other number, even and odd alternate. 2 is even, 7 is odd, etc. Since 9 is odd, the next number should be even. To figure out what number specifically, you will want to break up the numbers into three columns. 2 3 __
7 12 17
8 9 10 From here, you can see that the pattern will be adding 1 for the top row, 5 for the middle row, and 1 for the bottom row. Since the unknown number is on the top right of the first row, you will add 1 to 3, and the answer is 4.</span>
Answer:
1) as-16a
taknig a as common
=a(s-16)
2)as-4a³
taking a as common
=a(s-4a²)
3)2a³+8a-4a²-16
taking common terms
=2a(a²+4)-4(a²+4)
=(2a-4)(a²+4)
again taking common
=2(a-2)(a²+4)
i hope this will help you :)
Answer:
x y
5 20
15 10
45 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern x:
Start with 5.
Multiply by 3: 5 * 3 = 15
Multiply by 3: 15 * 3 = 45
Pattern x:
Start with 20.
Multiply by 1/2: 20 * 1/2 = 10
Multiply by 1/2: 10 * 1/2 = 5
x y
5 20
15 10
45 5
