We need to find the value of X that fits the pattern in the table. By observing the other numbers, we notice that multiplying the numbers in the first two columns and adding the third column gives a consistent result. Let's check: For the first row: \[ 7 \times 2 + 3 = 17 \] For the second row (we want to find X): \[ 6 \times 4 + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27, \text{ but the third column is X.} \] Let's try the third row: \[ 8 \times 5 + 7 = 40 + 7 = 47 \] Thus, by comparing these operations, X = 18 follows a similar pattern.
