Answer:
183
Step-by-step explanation:
462, 453, 444
Always start by subtracting the consecutive numbers.
462 - 453 = 9
453 - 444 = 9
Normally you can see a patron, and here there his is no exception :-).
You can construct the next number by subtracting 9 of the previous number in the sequence.
462 - 9
453 - 9
444 - 9
435 and so on...
If you want to find the 4th term then you need to multiply the 3rd by 9 and subtract it from the first term.
When you start with 462 - (3*9) you get 462 - (27) = 435
The same goes for the 32 term...
When you start with 462 - (31*9) you get 462 - (279) = 183
