People come here when they have already taken the quiz, so they would recognize the question. (I used Jiskha a long while ago, so don't even try to insult me by telling me this isn't true) So, people simply post the answer they used with this question
@whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is wrong
To find the pattern in the given input-output values, we need to observe how the output values are related to the input values. Let's analyze the given values:
Input (x) Output (y)
32 20
14 2
? −6
-2 -14
-10
To find the pattern, we can look at the difference between consecutive input and output values:
Input (x) Output (y) Difference (y-x)
32 20 -12
14 2 -12
? −6 -12
-2 -14 -12
-10 -12
By analyzing the differences in the output values, we observe that they are consistent and equal to -12.
So, to find the missing output value, we subtract 12 from the previous output value:
Previous output value: 2
Missing output value = 2 - 12 = -10
Therefore, the missing output value is -10.
Answer: -10

My crystal ball is hazy today. It isn't telling me what question you are asking.
I don't mind helping to find answers, but I resent having to provide the questions as well.
