Find the pattern and fill in the blank.
94 26 ___ 14 10
16
add the digits and multiply by 2
.65 .72 .79
To find the pattern in the given sequence, we need to identify the relationship between the numbers. Let's analyze the sequence:
94, 26, __, 14, 10
From 94 to 26, we can deduce that we subtracted a certain value. Similarly, from 26 to the missing number, we subtract a certain value. Finally, to move from the missing number to 14, we subtract a certain value again.
From 94 to 26, we subtracted 68. So, we can assume a pattern of subtracting 68 from each consecutive number.
Thus, to find the missing number, we subtract 68 from 26:
26 - 68 = -42
Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is -42. The complete sequence would be:
94, 26, -42, 14, 10
