Write the first two terms of the sequence that are less than zero.

Answer 1

The first two terms of the sequence that are less than zero are -30 and -100, obtained by subtracting 70 from each preceding term.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first two terms of the sequence that are less than zero, we'll continue the pattern given by subtracting 70 from each term. We start with the last provided term of 250.

1. Next term: 250 - 70 = 180
2. Following term: 180 - 70 = 110
3. Next term: 110 - 70 = 40
4. Following term: 40 - 70 = -30
5. Next term: -30 - 70 = -100

The first two terms of the sequence less than zero are -30 and -100.
