10. -6, 1, 2, 3, 10, 29, 66
11. 1, 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, 51, 70
2. (1 x 9) - 1 = 8
(21 x 9) - 1 = 188
(321 x 9) - 1 = 2888
Ans. (4321 x 9) – 1 = 38,888
38,889 – 1 = 38,888
38,888 = 38,888
3. 999,999 x 2 = 1,999,998
999,999 x 3 = 2,999,997
Ans. 999,999 x 4 = 3,999,996
3,999,996 = 3, 999,996
4. 32 - 12 = 23
62 - 32 = 33
102 - 62 = 43
152 - 102 = 53
Ans. 212 - 152 = 63
441 – 225 = 216
216 = 216
∛216 = ∛216
6=6
6 x 6 x 6 = 63
216 = 216
5. 22 - 12 =2+1
32 - 22 =3+2
42 - 32 =4+3
Ans. 𝟓2 – 42 = 5 + 4
25 – 16 = 5 + 4
9=5+4
9=9
6. 1=1x1
1+5=2x3
1+5+9=3x5
Ans. 1 + 5 + 9 + 13 = 4 x 7
6 + 9 + 13 = 4 x 7
15 + 13 = 4 x 7
28 = 4 x 7
28 = 28
7. (9 x 9) + 7 = 88
(98 x 9) + 6 = 888
(987 x 9) + 5 = 8,888
(9876 x 9) + 4 = 88,888
Ans. (98765 x 9) + 3 = 888,888
888, 885 + 3 = 888, 888
888, 888 = 888, 888
8. (1 x 9) + 2 = 11
(12 x 9) + 3 = 111
(123 x 9) + 4 = 1,111
(1234 x 9) + 5 = 11,111
Ans. (12345 x 9) + 6 = 111, 111
111, 105 + 6 = 111, 111
111, 111 = 111, 111
