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.
