Answer 5

i got it wats 50 40 43 33 ( ) 26 ( ) fill in the blank

Answer 6

change from 50 to 40 is -10 (since 40-50 = -10). So you're subtracting 10


but the change from 40 to 43 is +3 (since 43-40 = 3). So you're adding 3


and then notice the change comes back to -10 since 33-43 = -10


This pattern continues and it is -10 followed by +3


So after 33, we add 3 to get 33+3 = 36


Then we subtract 10 to get 36-10 = 26


Finally, we add 3 to get 26+3 = 29
