Step-by-step explanation:
5, 3, 6, 4, 7, 5, 8, 6, 9, 7
The general pattern I see is as follows:
The difference between the 4th and the 3rd number is +2 (let’s call it Δ4,3 ).
The difference between the 3rd and the 2nd number is −1 (let’s call it Δ3,2 ).
The difference between the 2nd and the 1st number is +3 (you get the naming convention by now, I suppose).
Note that Δ4,3=Δ3,2+Δ2,1 . It is also true that Δ5,4=Δ4,3+Δ3,2 . You can confirm by yourself that this is a general pattern.
Now, we are charged with finding the 8th number. To do so, we find the difference between the 8th and 7th numbers:
Δ8,7=Δ7,6+Δ6,5=3+4=7
The 7th number is 15, so the 8th number is 15+7=22 .
