Take 5

The solution to this simple math test

In full disclosure, I thought it was 18. Then I realized I was wrong, thanks to the comments section.


Here is the Math Test:

Math Test
9 = 90
8 = 72
7= 56
6 =42
3 = ?

We will have to figure out what 3 is equal to.

First, let’s observe the pattern:

9×10=90
8×9=72
7×8=56
6×7=42

I thought at this point it was 18, but I forgot (just like you did) the first part. In the question posted, it skips from 6 to 3, so let’s plug in number 5 and number 4.

5×6=30
4×5=20
3×4=12

Answer: 12
