Answer:

a₂₅ = - 367

Explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = - 22 - (- 7) = - 37 - (- 22) = - 15

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term


a_(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7 and d = - 15 , then

a₂₅ = - 7 + (24 × - 15) = - 7 - 360 = - 367
