Answer 1

It appears that the responses you provided follow a consistent pattern that involves a specific mathematical operation applied to a given input.

To determine the rule, let's summarize the operations:

1. **Add 2**: When the input is a number, the output is the input value plus 2.
2. **Multiply by 2**: When the input is a number, the output is the input value multiplied by 2.
3. **Divide by 2**: When the input is a number, the output is the input value divided by 2.
4. **Subtract 2**: When the input is a number, the output is the input value minus 2.

The rule for the input/output machine seems to depend on the operation specified for each individual response. Each line specifies an operation that transforms the input number accordingly:

- **If I input x**, then:
- For "Add 2" → output would be **x + 2**
- For "Multiply by 2" → output would be **x * 2**
- For "Divide by 2" → output would be **x / 2**
- For "Subtract 2" → output would be **x - 2**

Thus, the rule is defined by the specific operation being applied to the input number.
