Math Problem Statement

85 6 10 80 10 19 next?

Solution

To find the next number in the sequence 85, 6, 10, 80, 10, 19, let's look for a pattern.

  1. The first number (85) decreases to the second number (6).
  2. The second number (6) increases to the third number (10).
  3. The third number (10) decreases to the fourth number (80).
  4. The fourth number (80) decreases to the fifth number (10).
  5. The fifth number (10) increases to the sixth number (19).

If we observe closely, it seems to alternate between a significant decrease and smaller increases.

Continuing this logic, we might expect the next number after 19 to decrease significantly, perhaps to around 10 or lower.

Thus, a possible next number could be 10.

Tip: When analyzing sequences, look for alternating patterns or consistent operations (like addition or subtraction) to help identify the next terms.
