Question

Mandy used the rule "Add 6" to make a pattern. She started with 20 and wrote the next 5 numbers in her pattern. Which number does NOT belong in Mandy's pattern? I have provided the answer choices below.

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Initial number = 20

Add 6's = the number increases by 6

20 + 6 = 26

26 + 6 = 32

32 + 6 = 38

38 + 6 = 44 (not 43)

As such, 43 is not in the sequence. Hence, option D is the correct answer
