7 + 2 = 63 Multiplier is 7
6 + 5 = 66 Multiplier is 6
8 + 4 = 96 Multiplier is 8
Then: 9 + 7 =???? (112) Multiplier is 7
So I looked at the pattern of multipliers:
5, 7, 6, 8, then 7 again.........(5....(?)...6...(?)...7...
See how easy that was?
That was my first thought too...I was looking at the sequence and came up with 112.
