Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Five times the number is expressed as 5x  

28 greater than the product of the number and -2 is expressed as;

28 + (-2x)

Equating both expressions

5x = 28 + (-2x)

5x = 28 - 2x

5x+2x = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Hence the number is 4

Answer:

C arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

-2,0,2,4,6

To get from the first term to the second term, we add 2

To get from the second term to the third term, we add 2

To get from the third term to the fourth term, we add 2

The common difference is 2

This is an arithmetic sequence.

There is no single number we can multiply by to move from once term to the next, so it is not a geometric sequence.
