Hello Mathematicians! Can you please answer this question? Is this the right pattern to create ?

Question

...  For me , it didn't look like follow the pattern. If so , what is the answer?
2+ 4 = 3
4+ 6 = 5
6+ 8 = 7
1 + 7 = ?
Thank you

Answer

The only pattern there is nonsense. I am guessing at what you want, but I am not supposed to have to guess.

(2 + 4)/2 = 3
(4 + 6)/2 = 5
(6 + 8)/2 = 7
(1 + 7)/2 = 4

Answer

The pattern is to add together the two numbers given, then divide them by two, as in the answer above. 

By pattern I assume you mean the method that is used to answer these questions. Essentially, (x) + (y) = (x) + (y) divided by two.

1 + 7 = 8

8 divided by two is 4. 

So 1 + 7 = 4
