@elguapospeaks @Rothmus 10 is one possible answer, IF the formula for the first row is first number times second number plus 2. If the formula is first number times second number plus the difference between the first two numbers, same. It depends on the formula for the first row.

On 1/16/2009 Politico wrote:

Not yet in the White House but working the phones as if he were, Barack Obama won a crucial Senate vote Thursday clearing the release of $350 billion more in bailout funds from the Treasury Department’s controversial financial rescue program.

For the incoming president, the 52-42 roll call represented a first major test of strength, and Obama threw himself into the fight, reaching out to senators on both sides of the aisle and making calls until he had won all but one of the seven Democratic freshmen elected in November.
Thursday’s victory came even as House Democrats unveiled their $825 billion two-year economic recovery plan — the next big plank for the new president and one he will speak to in industrial Ohio Friday.
Five days before Obama’s inaugural, the twin events underscore how much he is already driving the nation’s economic policy agenda.
“I know this wasn’t an easy vote because of the frustration so many of us share about how the first half of this plan was implemented,” Obama said in a statement later. “Now my pledge is to change the way this plan is implemented and keep faith with the American taxpayer.”
“He worked it hard, and he was effective,” said one Democratic leadership aide. Minutes before the vote, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) summed up the mood when he closed debate: “I believe this is road to recovery for our country. Let’s trust Barack Obama.”
