Answer 2

Hi!

Let's try to find the pattern.

Is it adding?

2, + 8 = 10, + 8 = 18

Nope. 10 + 8 = 18, not 50.

Is it subtracting?

2 - (-8) = 10 - (-8) = 18

Nope. 10 - (-8) = 18, not 50.

Is it multiplying?

2 x 5 = 10 x 5 = 50

Yes! Now continue the pattern.

50 x 5 = 250 x 5 = 1250

The sequence is

2, 10, 50, 250, 1250

Hope this helps! :)
