Answer: {2, -2, -6, -10}
Arithmetic sequences are defined by a common difference between the numbers that’s both constant and consecutive.
To break it down:
The first option is {-1, 3, -3, -1}, which appears to be alternating, and there is more than 1 difference between the n term values. That is:
-1 to 3 = increase of 4
3 to -3 = decrease of 6
-3 to -1 = increase of 2
Therefore does not follow the definition of an arithmetic sequence.
The second option (the answer) {2, -2, -6, -10} is arithmetic, as it consistently and thus consecutively decreases by 4.
Finally, the last two sequences have the same issue with their pattern, {3, 6, 9, 15}
and {4, 14, 24, 32}. In which they stay constant for the first three n terms, but suddenly change in value on the 4th n term. Therefore, they are not arithmetic.

Answer: slopes will be the same!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
85 +80+100+85+x(the unknown),/the number of numbers ie 5
350+x/5=90
350+x=90 * 5
350+x=450
x=450-350
x=100
180
<span>3*60 </span>
<span>3*3*20 </span>
<span>3*3*4*5 </span>
<span>3*3*2*5 </span>
<span>which simplifies to 2^2*3^2*5

Answer:
It seems that your options aren't correct as the right answer is -5.3333... (recurring)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 2x + 4 = 20 + 5x (subtract by the smallest unknown)
-2x -2x
2) 4 = 20 + 3x
-20 -20 (now subtract each side by 20 as we want to leave the unknown on one side and another number on the other side.
3) -16 = 3x (Divide each side by 3)
÷3 = ÷3
4) -5.33333... = x
<h3>Now we have found x but if you're unsure you can substitute to see if your answer is correct.</h3><h3>2 x -5.3333 + 4 = -6.6666</h3><h3>20 + 5 x -5.3333= -6.6665</h3><h3>Our answer is correct! (When answers are rounded, it is equal to the same thing).</h3>
