The relationship among the numbers in each corner square is the same as that in the other corner squares. Find the missing number.
To solve this problem, we need to find the missing number in the lower-right corner using the pattern seen in the other squares.
Let's evaluate the given pattern in each corner:
The pattern appears as follows: \((9 + 7 - 13) = 3\), then \(3 \times 5 = 15\).
Similarly, the pattern is: \((10 + 8 - 12) = 6\), then \(6 \times 2 = 14\).
For this pattern: \((5 + 3 - 11) = -3\), then \(-3 \times (-5) = 15\).
We see that the pattern follows \({a + b - c = x}\) and this result \(x\) multiplied by a factor results in the fourth number.
Now, applying this to the bottom-right corner:
Applying the pattern: \((4 + x - 16) \times n = 18\).
Let's find the solution by setting \(n\) consistent through other corners:
Solve \((4 + x - 16) \times 1 = 18\), we get: \({4 + x - 16 = 18}\), implying \(x = 6\).
Therefore, the missing number is 6.
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
