Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahh, it's pretty obvious that it wouldn't struck you at first, the pattern I mean.

So observe closely

first number is 5

then 2 is added then 5 is added and lastly it is divided by 2

So the above statement when put in action, looks like

5, 5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 5 = 12, 12÷2 = 6,

this is how our pattern progresses but there is a slight change in this.

6+2 = 8, 8 + 6 = 14, 14÷2 = 7

the 5 here is now 6

because we started from 6

following the pattern, we should get

7, 7 + 2 = 9, 9+7 = 16, 16÷2 = 8

therefore your answer is 9

hope this helps ☺️
