Final answer:
The pattern problem using addition, subtraction, and multiplication is defined as follows: a. 2 + 3 = 5, 5 - 3 = 2, 2 x 3 = 6, 6 + 3 = 9, 9 x 2 = 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
To create a pattern problem using addition, subtraction, and multiplication, we can use the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10. Let's create the pattern problem:
a. 2 + 3 = 5, 5 - 3 = 2, 2 x 3 = 6, 6 + 3 = 9, 9 x 2 = 18
Now let's provide the first five terms of the pattern:
Term 1: 5
Term 2: 2
Term 3: 6
Term 4: 9
Term 5: 18
