Question

Determine the missing term
18, 15, 17, 14, 16, ....

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

Subtract 3: 18 - 3 = 15

Add 2: 15 + 2 = 17

Subtract 3: 17 - 3 = 14

Add 2: 14 + 2 = 16

It alternates between subtracting 3 and adding 2.

So, to find the next term:

Subtract 3 from 16: 16 - 3 = 13

Therefore, the missing term is 13
