Question

Complete this sequence.-5, -12, -19, -26, -33, [?]Enter the number that goes in the green box.

Answer 1

Answer: - 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine if there is a common difference between the terms. We would subtract the first term from the second,the second from the third and compare the difference

- 12 - - 5 = - 12 + 5 = - 7

- 19 - - 12 = - 19 + 12 = - 7

Thus, there is a common difference of - 7

Thus, the term after - 33 is

- 33 + - 7

= - 33 - 7

= - 40
