Answer:

1. Each successive number is 4 larger than the preceding number.

Thus I predict that the next number in the list is 4 larger than 24,
which is 28.
4,8,12,16,20,24, 28
2. Each successive number is 6 larger than the preceding number.
Thus I predict that the next number in the list is 6 larger than 35,
which is 41.
5,11,17,23,29,35, 41
3. The first two number differ by 2. The second and the third
numbers differ by 4. It appears that the difference between any two
numbers is always 2 more than the preceding difference. Since 23
and 33 differ by 10, I predict that the next number in the list will be
12 larger that 33, which is 45.
3,5,9,15,23,33, 45

4. The first two number differ by 7. The second and the third
numbers differ by 19. It appears I need to solve the second
differences of the sequence numbers and it’s is 7,9,37, and 31.
Thus this second difference has differences of 12,18 and 24 and in
third differences they are differ by 6. Since there are all equal
differences from first to last number I just need to add 6 in 24 so it
 will be 30 in the second difference and add the 30 and 91 in the
first difference so to come up at the next number in the list I just
need to add 125 and 91 in which the answer is 216.
1,8,27,64,125, 216

5. The first two number differ by 3. The second and the third
numbers differ by 5. It appears that I need to solve the first
differences which is 3,5,7,9,11,13, and 15 the differ between them
is 2 in the second differences Since there are equal now all I need
to do is to add 2 and 13 to come up with 15 and add 15 and 49
which is equal to 64.
1,4,9,16,25,36,49, 64

6. The first two number differ by 10. The second and the third
numbers differ by 9. It appears that I need to know the first
differences which is 10,9,8,7,6 which is the differ is 1. Since there
are all equal now it the second differences all I need to do is to
subtract 1 to 6 that is equal to 5 and subtract 40 and 5 which is
equal to 35.
80,70,61,53,46,40, 35

7. Each successive number is 2/2 larger than the preceding number.

Thus I predict that the next number in the list is 2/2 larger than
13/15, which is 15/17.
3/5,5/7,7/9,9/11,11/13,13/15, 15/17
8. Each successive number is 1 larger than the preceding number.
Thus I predict that the next number in the list is 1 larger than 6/7,
which is 7/8.
1/2,2/3,3/4,4/5,5/6,6/7 7/8
9. The first two number differ by adding 5. The second and the third
numbers differ by adding -10. It appears that adding 5 and -10
switch every next number in the list. Since -8 and -18 differ by
adding -10, I predict that the next number in the list will be needed
to add by 5 smallest than -18, which is -13.
2,7,-3,2,-8,-3,-13,-8,-18 -13

10. The first two number differ by 4. The second and the third
numbers differ by 7. It appears that we need to know the first
difference between the list which is 4,7,10, and 13 where there are
differ and also all equal by 3. Since now that there are all equal I
predict that I need to add the 3 and 13 to come up with 16 and add
the 35 and 16 which is the equal is 51.
1,5,12,22,35, 51
