Question

What number appears at the point marked in red?

-5-5-5333777111111151515

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's pay attention to the numbers on the axis from left to right:

3,7,11,15 3,7,11,15

We'll try to find the common denominator.

Note that if we use the operation +4, we'll reach the sequence of numbers:

3+4=7 3+4=7

7+4=11 7+4=11

11+4=15 11+4=15

Therefore, the red point will be the next exercise:

5+4=1 -5+4=-1
