Answer 1

`&#128075` Hello ! ☺️

Explanation:

•Find the next term of the sequence.

Let us find the interval between two successive terms:

16 - 9= 7

-7 is therefore the common différence of this sequence. (d)

Find the next term :

-5 + (-7)= -12

`\boxed{\color{gold}{N = -12}}`

Answer 2

Answer: The next term is -12.

Explanation:

16,9,2,-5

Looking at these numbers to go from 16 to 9 you will add -7 or subtract 7 . The same way you subtract 7 from 9 to get 2 and subtract 7 from 2 to get -5.

So to determine the next term subtract 7 from -7 or add -7.

-5 - 7 = -12

0r -5 + -7 = -12
