Use inductive reasoning to predict the next equation.
-(1 × 9)- 7 = 2
(21 × 9)- 7 = 182
(321 × 9)- 7 = 2882
A)(4321 × 9)- 7 = 3881
B)(4321 × 9)- 7 = 28,882
C)(432 × 9)- 7 = 38,882
D)(4321 × 9)- 7 = 38,882

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern involves multiplying a number that increases by one digit (1, 21, 321) by 9 and then subtracting 7. Following this pattern, (4321 × 9) - 7 should be the next equation, which matches option D.
