A patern 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? 59,68,71,80
To find the sixth number in the pattern, we need to apply the given rules (add 12, subtract 3) to each number in the pattern.
Starting with 41:
41 + 12 = 53 (first number)
53 - 3 = 50 (second number)
50 + 12 = 62 (third number)
62 - 3 = 59 (fourth number)
59 + 12 = 71 (fifth number)
Therefore, the sixth number in the pattern is 71.
