Question 304712: Use inductive reasoning to predict the next complete line in the pattern.
44 - 5 = 39
454 - 56 = 398
4554 - 567 = 3987 Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use inductive reasoning to predict the next complete line in the pattern.
44 - 5 = 39
454 - 56 = 398
4554 - 567 = 3987
It looks like the the number that is being subtracted is being multiplied by 10 and then having the next higher digit added to that.
5 * 10 = 50 + 6 = 56
56 * 10 = 560 + 7 = 567
If that's true, then the next number to be subtracted will be:
567 * 10 = 5670 + 8 = 5678 *****
It looks like the the number that is being added is being multiplied by 10 and then having 14 added to it.
44 * 10 = 440 + 14 = 454
454 * 10 = 4540 + 14 = 4554
If that's true, then the next number to be added will be:
4554 * 10 = 45540 + 14 = 45554 *****
If all of that is correct, then the next complete line will be:
