Fill in the numbers to continued the pattern.

250, 245, 235, ____, 200, 175, _____, _______
250 - 245 = 005
245 - 235 = 10
The number between 250 - 245 is 5, since the answer is 5 and the number between 245 and 235 is 10.

Please help me, I'm really confused and need help.

Why don't you set it up like you did in

This one looks even easier.

Certainly! Let's analyze the given pattern step by step:

250 - 245 = 5
245 - 235 = 10

From this pattern, we can observe that the numbers are decreasing by 5 and then by 10. It seems that the numbers are alternating between a decrease of 5 and a decrease of 10.

Now, let's continue with the pattern.

235 - ? = ?
Since the previous decrease was 10, the next decrease should be by 5.
So, to find the missing number, we subtract 5 from 235:
235 - 5 = 230

Now, let's move on to the next part:

? - 200 = ?
Since the previous decrease was 5, the next decrease should be by 10.
So, to find the missing number, we subtract 10 from 200:
200 - 10 = 190

Finally, let's fill in the last missing number:

175 - ? = ?
Since the previous decrease was 10, the next decrease should also be 10.
So, to find the missing number, we subtract 10 from 175:
175 - 10 = 165

Therefore, the complete pattern would be:

250, 245, 235, 230, 200, 175, 190, 165
