Question

Find the missing term or terms in each arithmetic sequence.
-24, __, __, -54,

Answer 1

-34, -44

Explanation:

The first step is the find the difference between the two numbers given.

-24 - (-54) = -20

Since there is two missing spaces in between we take our -20 and divide it by two.

-20/2 = -10

This -10 means we need to subtract 10 spaces to get the next two answers.

-24 - 10 = -34

-34 - 10 = -44

Answer 2

the next two numbers would be -34 and -44

Explanation:

The difference between -54 and -24 is 20.

20 divided by 2 is 10, so the difference between each term is 10.

the next two numbers would be -34 and -44
