To find the next number, we subtract 5 from 19, resulting in 14The next number in the pattern is 14.
The given sequence is:
29, 28, 26, 23, 19
To find the next number in the pattern, we can observe that each number in the sequence is decreasing by a certain amount.
The difference between each consecutive pair of numbers is decreasing by 1.
So, the difference between 29 and 28 is 1, between 28 and 26 is 2, between 26 and 23 is 3, and between 23 and 19 is 4.
Therefore, to find the next number, we subtract 5 from 19, resulting in 14.
Therefore, the next number in the pattern is 14.
