Question

what numeral comes next in the series: 116,113,107,98...?

Step by step have a test tommorow don't know any math need help

Answer 1

116-113= 3
113-107=6
107-98=9

This shows the pattern is subtracting 3 extra each time.
9+3=12

We will subtract by 12

98-12=86

86 is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The next term in the sequence would be 86.

Step-by-step explanation:

116, 113, 107, 98...

The first thing I would do is find the difference between all consecutive terms.

$116-113=3\\113-107=6\\107-98=9$

The difference increases by 3 for every consecutive term, meaning each consecutive term is decreased by 3 more than the last.

Knowing that pattern, the next term in the sequence must have a difference of 12:

$9+3=12\\98-12=86$

The next term in the sequence would be 86.
