Given the pattern:
29, 28, 26, 23, 19
The conjecture that describes this pattern is:
The differnce of each element is increasing by 1.
A subtraction of 1, then subtraction of 2, subtraction of 3, subtraction of 4, and so on.
Example:
29 - 1 = 28
28 - 2 = 26
26 - 3 = 23
23 - 4 = 19
19 - 5 = 14
Therefore the next number is 14.
ANSWER:
14
