Answer:

- 3

Explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

5 - 7 = 3 - 5 = 1 - 3 = - 1 - 1 = - 2

Thus subtracting 2 from the last term shown gives the next term

- 1 - 2 = - 3

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

in every term we subtract 2 so

7-2=5

so in every answer subtract 2

5-2=3

3-2=1

1-2=-1

-1-2=-3
