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
To find the sixth number in the pattern, we need to follow the given rules starting with the number 41.
First, we add 12 to 41:
41 + 12 = 53
Next, we subtract 3 from 53:
53 - 3 = 50
Then, we add 12 to 50:
50 + 12 = 62
After that, we subtract 3 from 62:
62 - 3 = 59
Next, we add 12 to 59:
59 + 12 = 71
Lastly, we subtract 3 from 71:
71 - 3 = 68
Therefore, the sixth number in the pattern is 68.
