what is the next number in the pattern 5,3,7,5,9,7,11?
5 - 2 = 3
3 + 4 = 7
7 - 2 = 5
5 + 4 = 9
9 - 2 = 7
7 + 4 = 11
What pattern do you see?
What is the next number?
You are adding 2 to every other number
so 5,3,7,5,9,7,11,?
5 to 7, 7 to 9, 9 to 11
3 to 5,5 to 7,7 to ?
?=9
I hope that makes sense.
you add two
you are addin 2
the next number is 13 if tat helps
To find the next number in the pattern, let's analyze the sequence. It appears that the numbers alternate between two different patterns:
Pattern 1: Subtract 2
Pattern 2: Add 2
When we look closely at the given sequence, we see that it follows Pattern 1->Pattern 2->Pattern 1->Pattern 2, and so on. Using this information, we can determine the next number.
Starting with 5, we subtract 2 to get 3. Then, we add 2 to get 5 again. Next, we add 2 to get 7, then subtract 2 to get 5, and so on.
Therefore, the next number in the pattern would be obtained by adding 2 to the last number in the sequence. In this case, 11 + 2 = 13.
Hence, the next number in the pattern is 13.
