1. Pick a number 2. Multiply by two 3. Add 12 4. Subtract 8 5. Halve it (Divide by 2) 6. Subtract original number ... HOPE THIS HELPSSS <3333
Because not always is so. When you subtract a negative number from 2, then the result is a number larger than 2. 2 - 1 = 1; 1< 2 2 - 4 = -2; -2 < 2 but 2 - (-1) = 2 + 1 = 3; 3 > 2
The pattern is "Subtract 4, Divide by 3, Multiply by 2", repeat46 - 4 = 4242 / 3 = 1414 * 2 = 2828 - 4 = 2424 / 3 = 88 * 2 = 16Thus the next number is 16 - 4 = 12
Just subtract the lowest number from the greatest number. For example, the distance between 3 and 8, is 8 - 3 = 5 units, the distance between -2 and 3, is 3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5 units, the distance between -4 and -2, is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2 units.

An easy way to do this is to manipulate the original number and make sure to "undue" all the manipulations you did. For example: pick any number, add 3, subtract 2, subtract the number you started with, you have 1. Example explained: x + 3 - 2 - x = 1. More complex example: pick any number, multiply by 2, add 4, subtract 2, divide by 2, subtract 2, add 4, subtract the number you started with, you have 3. Explained: (((x * 2) + 4 - 2) / 2) - 2 + 4 - x = (2x + 2) / 2 + 2 = x + 3 - x = 3.
The number is 12. 12 ÷ 2 = 6 6 - 4 = 2

Call the unknown number n. Then, from the problem statement, {4[(n + 7 - 2) - n]} - 2 = 18. This is always true because [(n + 7 - 2) - n] is simply 5.
2
I like this one.... think of a number multiply by 2 add 12 subtract 4 divide by 2 subtract the number you thought of and the answer is 4 it always works its a mathematical certainty once you have the number 4 you can add subtract etc to your hearts content and make any new number provided you remember the answer yourself.
-1,-2,+2,-4,+4,-5,+5, +0. the sequence is subtract twice, add once, subtract again, add, then subtract, then add twice.
You subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight. For example, if you have a helium atom and its atomic weight is 4 and you subtract its atomic number (2) the number of neutrons in the helium atom is 2.
You are bad at math. 1
The number 4 is an integer (the Number 4.1 is a real number and not an integer) The number 2 is an integer (the number 2.9 is a real number and not an integer) 4-2 = 2 4+2 = 6 The above are examples of how the integers 4 and 2 can be added or subtracted.
One answer would be 0.There is a pattern of half the number and subtract 2. 4/2 - 2 = 0.
