1. **Problem:** Identify the pattern and continue the sequence starting with 112, 100, 88. 2. **Step 1:** Observe the differences between terms: $100 - 112 = -12$, $88 - 100 = -12$. 3. **Step 2:** The pattern decreases by 12 each time. 4. **Step 3:** Continue the sequence: $88 - 12 = 76$, $76 - 12 = 64$, $64 - 12 = 52$. 5. **Answer:** The next numbers are 76, 64, 52. This method applies similarly to other sequences by finding the difference between terms and continuing accordingly.
