The first number in a pattern is 8 .Each following number is found by subtracting 9 from the previous number. What is the fifth number in the pattern ?
The answer is -37 because you start with 8 and since you are subtracting by 9 and you are doing that 5 times you would take 9 multiple by 5 and you get 45. Then you take 8 and subtract 45, and you would get -37
