Answer:

should be 8 unless the first term is 56? or the question asks for 5th term which is 16

Explanation:

Difference between 1st term and 2nd:

48-40 =8

Difference between 2nd term and 3rd:

40-32 =8

Clearly the jump between 1 point and the next is subtracting 8 or adding -8:

so 5th term will

24-8 =16

6th term:

16-8 =8
