Thanks a lot, everyone! I am usually good at these, but this one had me stumped! I've been doing homework for 5 hours, I think my brain is fried! Thanks again!

Look at the number pattern...it increases by a certain number, and always decreases by four. If you look at the pattern the first number is always 1/3 the value of the second number in the pattern. The
next two numbers of the pattern should be obvious by now.
It's 29*3=87. The next blank following the 87 is (29*3)-4=83.
