Question

use inductive reasoning to predict the next line in the pattern. 5x2=106×2=127×2=148×2=16

Answer 1

By inductive reasoning, the ne

We want to predict the next term in the pattern

As we can see, the terms on the far left before the mathematical operator of multiplication is increasing by 1 for each point

So, we need to increase the last term by 1 and that gives us 9

Next thing here is to multiply the number by 2

So, finally, we equate this to its answer and we have that as;

$9\times2\text{ = 18}$
