The sequence of numbers decrease by 6 each time, so we can write:
f(1) = 5
f(2) = -1
f(3) = -7
f(1) - f(2) = 6
or:
f(2) = f(1) - 6
which means:
f(n + 1) = f(n) - 6
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
X-the number
16 + 2x = -24 |subtract 16 from both sides
2x = -40 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = -20</u>
