Question

A number pattern has 75 as its first term. The rule for the pattern is subtract 6. What is the 6th term?

Answer 1

starts at 76 and subtract 6 each time
76 <--- the first term
76 - 6 is 70 <--- the second term
70 - 6 is 64 <--- the third term
64 - 6 is 58 <--- the fourth term
58 - 6 is 54 <--- the fifth term
54 - 6 is 48 <--- the sixth term

That is your answer... the sixth term is 48.

Hope this helps :)
