Question

Select the all the numbers that would be apart of the pattern rule, "multiply by 6 and subtract 2

A. 34
B. 40
C. 55
D. 88
E. 119

​

Answer 1

A. 34; B. 40. D. 88

Explanation:

The rule is, "multiply by six and subtract two."

So, if we add two to the number, it should be evenly divisible by 6.

We can check each number.

A. 34 + 2 = 36; 36/6 = 6. TRUE.

B. 40 + 2 = 42; 42/6 = 7. TRUE.

C. 55 + 2 = 57; 57/6 = 9½. False.

D. 88 + 2 = 90; 90/6 = 15. TRUE.

E. 119 + 2 = 121; 121/6 = 20⅙. False.

The numbers that satisfy the rule are 34, 40, and 88.
