Answer 1

To verify if Pete's pattern is correct according to the rule "Add 2, Multiply by 2," let's follow the steps starting from 6.

1. Start with 6.
2. Add 2: 6 + 2 = 8
3. Multiply by 2: 8 × 2 = 16
4. Add 2: 16 + 2 = 18
5. Multiply by 2: 18 × 2 = 36

Now let's summarize the steps:

• Start with 6
• 6 → Add 2 → 8
• 8 → Multiply by 2 → 16
• 16 → Add 2 → 18
• 18 → Multiply by 2 → 36

The sequence generated is 6, 8, 16, 18, 36, which matches what Pete has written.

So, the correct response is:

Yes. Pete's pattern is correct.
