Pete's rule is "Add 2, Multiply by 2." He started with 6 and wrote the numbers below. 6, 8, 16, 18, 36 Is Pete's pattern correct?

1 answer

No, Pete's pattern is not correct. If we follow his rule starting with 6, we would get:

(6 + 2) x 2 = 16
(16 + 2) x 2 = 36
(36 + 2) x 2 = 76

Therefore, the correct pattern using Pete's rule from 6 would be 6, 16, 36, 76.
