Answer:
-4/3 = y
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/2 = 3/8y
Multiply each side by 8/3 to isolate y
-1/2 * 8/3 = 3/8y * 8/3y
-8/6 =y
-4/3 = y
Notice the following pattern:
2 - 0 = 2
6 - 2 = 4
12 - 6 = 6
20 - 12 = 8
It's reasonable to assume that consecutive terms in the sequence differ by increasing multiples of 2, so that for the next number (call it x) we expect to see
x - 20 = 10 ==> x = 30
and for the number after that (call it y) we would see
y - x = y - 30 = 12 ==> y = 42
