Answer:

The next term is 54.

Explanation:

Look carefully, and you will find that each number increases by 7.

12 + 7 = 19.

19 + 7 = 26.

26 + 7 = 33...

...and so on.

Therefore, the next term is 54 since 47 + 7 = 54.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

This is a really simple question!

Explanation:

What you need to do in order to identify the sequence is, subtract the number after the first. So an example is, 19-12=7, then 26-19=7, and 33-26=7, so on so on. But every time you do that you should get 7 every time! So in order to find the next term you would have to add 7 to 47 (The last number) Which would give you, 54! Lastly to check your answer, you can solve 54-47, which is 7!

Identified sequence: +7

Next term: 54

I hope this helps! Stay safe and good luck! :)
