Answer:

13,-5,-35,-77,-131,-197

Explanation:

To get from 13 to -5, you subtract 18 (or add -18)

To get from -5 to -35, you subtract 30

To get from -35 to -77, you subtract 42

Notice that the amount being subtracted is increasing by 12 each time.

So the next subtraction will be 54, and the one after that will be 66.

So the next term is -77 - 54 = -131

And the term after that is -131 - 66 = -197

So the sequence would be: 13,-5,-35,-77,-131,-197
