Solving the Number Sequence
The question asks to find the missing number in the sequence: $98, 90, 82, 74, ?, 58$. We need to identify the pattern governing this sequence.
Identifying the Pattern
Let's examine the difference between consecutive terms:
- $98 - 90 = 8$
- $90 - 82 = 8$
- $82 - 74 = 8$
The pattern observed is that each term is obtained by subtracting 8 from the previous term. This indicates an arithmetic progression with a common difference of -8.
Calculating the Missing Term
To find the missing term, we apply the identified pattern to the term before the question mark, which is 74.
Missing Term = Previous Term - Common Difference
Missing Term = $74 - 8$
Missing Term = $66$
Verifying the Sequence
To confirm, let's check if subtracting 8 from our calculated missing term (66) yields the next term in the sequence (58).
$66 - 8 = 58$
This matches the given sequence, confirming our calculation.
Conclusion
The number that should come at the place of the question mark is 66.
