Answer:

-9

Explanation:

Given :-

  • A Arithmetic sequence -5 , -14 , -23 ...

And we need to find out the common difference of the Arithmetic sequence . The common difference of a Arithmetic sequence is the number which is added to a term to obtain the next term of the sequence . And it can be obtained by subtracting the consecutive terms.

Sequence :-


:\implies -5 , -14 , -23

Common difference :-


:\implies CD = -14 -(-5) = -14+5=-9


:\implies CD = -23-(-14) = -23+14=-9

Hence the common difference is (-9) .
