A number is repeated, then it is reduced by 13 and the result is repeated. The next number is 27-13=14.

If you need help understanding math so you can solve these problems yourself, then one on one online tutoring is the answer ($30/hr). If you need faster solutions with guaranteed detailed answers, then go with personal problem solving ($3.50-$5.50 per problem). Contact me at fcabanski@hotmail.com
