Question

Write down the next two terms of this pattern :8,18,30,44,......

Answer 1

im not sure but the pattern im seeing is adding by even numbers i could be wrong but I think the next two numbers are 60, and 78

Explanation:

8 + 10 is 18

18+ 12 is 30

30 +14 is 44

so i did

44+16 and got 60

and 60 + 18 is 78.

Answer 2

60, 78

Explanation:

To find a pattern, try experimenting.

Going from 8 to 18 is + 10

Going from 18 to 30 is + 12

Going from 30 to 44 is + 14

We see that we add 2 more extra than the term before (+10, +12, +14)

So, we just add 2 for the next 2 terms which will be +16 and + 18

which are 44 + 16 = 60

and 60 + 18 = 78
