What is the pattern for this? Not the next number, the PATTERN? Any way, this is the pattern: 88, 81, 74, 67, 60. oh can you also explain why you got what you got?

the pattern is 7x + 4 (whereby x is any integer number)

ok so the pattern is:
88, 81, 74, 67, 60
Ok notice the difference between 88 and 81. 88-81=7
Now notice the difference between 81 and 74. 81-74=7
And so on. 74-67=7
67-60=7
So the pattern is to subtract 7 each time to get the next number. This is figured out by testing the first one and checking the answer.
Good luck in math!!! :)

If you 87 - 81 you get seven. By doing this each time,(87-81, 81-74, 74-67, and 67-60) you see the answer is always 7. Your answer is subtracting 7 each time.

88-7=81-7=74 -7=67-7=60-7=53-7=46-7=39-7=32-7=25-7=18-7=11-7=4

Looks like the pattern is
n = 88,
n+1 = n-7
n+2 = (n+1) - 7
I got what I got by examining subsequent numbers in the series and by notiing that they differed by 7
This is an arithmetic series, since there is a common difference between the numbers, versus a geometric series where there is a common ratio between subsequent numbers...
Good luck, hope this helps...

The pattern is to subtract 7 from the previous number.

the pattern is subtract 7...i got it by subtracting 88-81=7, 81-79=7, and so on.

The pattern is to SUBTRACT 7.
I got that because the difference between all the number is 7 and they continue to decrease

Look
88-7=81
81-7=74
and so on..
To find the pattern you subtract.

The pattern is based on subtraction.
You figure out what number...it's your homework.
Most patterns can be figured out by finding the difference btwn 1st and 2nd number. Then finding the difference btwn the 2nd and 3rd number. Then comparing the difference of the 1st/2nd number with the difference of the 2nd/3rd number. The relationship btwn the 1st/2nd, 2nd/3rd...number combinations is your pattern.
