Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8

8+6=14

14+6=20

3

3+3=6

6+3=9=?

Answer 2

Answer:

Thus, the missing term is $9$ and the complete sequence is $3,8,6,14, 9 ,20$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Missing numbers are those that have been omitted from a given series of numbers that have comparable discrepancies between them. Finding similarities between the missing numbers and filling in the gaps in the specified series and locations is how the missing numbers are to be written.

Given:

A sequence $=3,8,6,14, ? ,20$

To find:

We have to find the missing count of the series.

Solution:

We have,

$3,8,6,14, ? ,20$

Firstly we have to find the pattern of the sequence,

$3 * 2 + 2 = 8$

$6 * 2 + 2 = 14$

In same way, if we take the missing term as '$a$'

$a * 2 + 2 = 20$

$a * 2 = 18$

$a = \frac{18}{2}$

$a=9$

Thus, the missing term is $9$.
