A pattern uses both addition and subtraction as its rules. The rule is "Add 12, Subtract 3." The pattern begins with 41. What is the sixth number in the pattern? (1 point) Responses 59 59 68 68 71 71 80 80
To find the sixth number in the pattern, we need to follow the given rule: "Add 12, Subtract 3."
Starting with 41, we can apply the rule consecutively:
41 + 12 = 53
53 - 3 = 50
50 + 12 = 62
62 - 3 = 59
59 + 12 = 71
71 - 3 = 68
Therefore, the sixth number in the pattern is 68.
