A patern uses both addition and subtraction as its rules the rule is add 12 subtract 3 the pattern begins with 41 what is the sixth number in the pattern? 59,68,71,80

Answer 1

To find the sixth number in the pattern, we need to apply the given rules (add 12, subtract 3) to each number in the pattern.

Starting with 41:
41 + 12 = 53 (first number)
53 - 3 = 50 (second number)
50 + 12 = 62 (third number)
62 - 3 = 59 (fourth number)
59 + 12 = 71 (fifth number)

Therefore, the sixth number in the pattern is 71.
