Very easy:

8*1 = 8-2 = 6.
6*2 = 12-3 = 9.
9*3 = 27-4 = 23.
23*4 = 92-5 = 87.
87*5 = 435-6 = 429.

So answer is 429.

It was easy:

8x1-2 = 6.
6x2-3 = 9.
9x3-4 = 23.
23x4-5 = 87.
87x5-6 = 429.

It was easy question just think in other order.

Well it depends on the question to create a logic. Only one logic is not enough to find the next term.
