Question

Find the next term of the sequence.
16, 9, 2, -5,

Answer 1

Answer:  The next term is -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

16,9,2,-5  

Looking at these numbers to go from 16 to 9 you will add -7 or subtract 7 . The same way you subtract 7 from 9 to get 2  and subtract 7 from 2 to get -5.

So to determine the next term subtract 7 from -7   or add -7.

-5 - 7 = -12

0r  -5 + -7 = -12  

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

•Find the next term of the sequence.

Let us find the interval between two successive terms:

16 - 9= 7

-7 is therefore the common différence of this sequence. (d)

Find the next term :

-5 + (-7)= -12

$\boxed{\color{gold}{N = -12}}$
