Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
+ 
> 1 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions )
2 + x > 3 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x > 1

Answer:
24, 48
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A common multiple is a number, specifically a whole number, that is a shared multiple between 2 or more numbers.
2. Given the information above, we can see there's a list of multiples for 6 and 8. The multiples that 6 and 8 share are 24 and 48, so they're common multiples.
Therefore, the answer is 24 and 48.
