Which of the following numbers completes
the sequence 3, 8, 14, 21, 29,38, 48, ___? Choose one.
A) 35  B) 36  C) 37  D) 59  E) 89
The numbers increase at a somewhat steady rate, so you have to figure out how much   you have to add to each number to produce the next in the sequence:  3 + 5= 
<gadget id="calculator"> 3 + 5</gadget>
<output>8</output>
8; 8 + 6= 14;    14 + 7= 
<gadget id="calculator"> 14 + 7</gadget>
<output>21</output>
21; 21 + 8= 29, and so on. The rule for the sequence is to add successively larger   numbers to each number; therefore, the next number is   48 + 11= 
<gadget id="calculator">  48 + 11</gadget>
<output>59</output>
59.   correct answer 59)59
<result>D</result>
