    Answer: 65

    The differences decrease by 1 each step: −9, −8, −7, −6, −5, so next is 70 − 5 = 65.

    Answer: 9

    Each term is divided by 3, so 27 ÷ 3 = 9.

  6. What comes next? 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ___

    Answer: 49

    These are perfect squares: 2², 3², 4², 5², 6², so next is 7² = 49.

  7. What comes next? 1, 4, 13, 40, 121, ___
