Answer: The required pattern is 1000, 992, 984, 976, 968, 960


Explanation:

To create a pattern that subtracts 8 from each number

Given: the first term = 1000

or
a_1=1000

and the common difference d= -8

Therefore,


a_2=1000-8=992\\a_3=992-8=984\\a_4=984-8=976\\a_5=976-8=968\\a_6=968-8=960

Here, we got the five numbers.

The required pattern will be 1000, 992, 984, 976, 968, 960
