Question 1153679


{{{highlight(7)}}}, {{{16}}},{{{ highlight(8)}}}, {{{27}}}, {{{highlight(9)}}},?
 
Every other number (highlighted in red) is counting up by one from {{{7}}}: 
{{{7}}}, {{{8}}},{{{ 9}}}, ...
 
The {{{16}}} is {{{2*8}}}, which is the following number.  

The {{{27}}} is {{{3*9}}}, which is the following number.  

So the sequence seems to be, starting with {{{n=7}}}:
 
{{{n}}},  {{{2*(n+1)}}},  {{{n+1}}},  {{{3*(n+2)}}},  {{{n+2}}}, {{{4(n+3)}}},     {{{n+3}}}, ...
 
so, you have

{{{7}}}, {{{16}}}, {{{8}}}, {{{27}}},{{{ 9}}},{{{4*(7+3)=40}}}, {{{  10}}}

{{{7}}}, {{{16}}}, {{{8}}}, {{{27}}}, {{{9}}},{{{highlight(40)}}}, then will come {{{10}}} and so on


your answer is: {{{40}}}
