To solve this problem, we need to fill in the missing numbers by counting up by 2s. This means each number is 2 more than the one before it (like skipping every other number).
Let's go through the grid row by row:
Row 1:
* The numbers are: 2, [blank], 6, [blank], 10
* Start at 2. Add 2 to get
4.
* Check: 4 + 2 = 6. (Correct)
* From 6, add 2 to get
8.
* Check: 8 + 2 = 10. (Correct)
* *Missing numbers for Row 1: 4, 8*
Row 2:
* The numbers are: [blank], 14, [blank], 18, [blank]
* Look at the number 14. To find the number before it, subtract 2. $14 - 2 =$
12.
* From 14, add 2 to get
16.
* Check: 16 + 2 = 18. (Correct)
* From 18, add 2 to get
20.
* *Missing numbers for Row 2: 12, 16, 20*
Row 3:
* The numbers are: 22, [blank], 26, [blank], 30
* Start at 22. Add 2 to get
24.
* Check: 24 + 2 = 26. (Correct)
* From 26, add 2 to get
28.
* Check: 28 + 2 = 30. (Correct)
* *Missing numbers for Row 3: 24, 28*
Row 4:
* The numbers are: [blank], 34, [blank], 38, [blank]
* Look at 34. Subtract 2 to find the first number: $34 - 2 =$
32.
* From 34, add 2 to get
36.
* Check: 36 + 2 = 38. (Correct)
* From 38, add 2 to get
40.
* *Missing numbers for Row 4: 32, 36, 40*
Row 5:
* The numbers are: 42, [blank], 46, [blank], 50
* Start at 42. Add 2 to get
44.
* Check: 44 + 2 = 46. (Correct)
* From 46, add 2 to get
48.
* Check: 48 + 2 = 50. (Correct)
* *Missing numbers for Row 5: 44, 48*
Here is the complete list of numbers to fill in the blanks, going from left to right, top to bottom:
Final Answer:
Row 1: 4, 8
Row 2: 12, 16, 20
Row 3: 24, 28
Row 4: 32, 36, 40
Row 5: 44, 48
