Just so you know, there's no diagram
Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers. A positive times a positive is a positive, right? But a negative times a negative is also a positive. Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number. So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.
Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives. Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147. What other factors of -147 are there?
What about 7? Try it: -147 / 7 = -21. So here are two factors: -21, and 7. They multiply to -147. Do they add up to -14? Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14. Yup, that works!
Answer: -21 and 7
To find this, first find the factor or rate of which the numbers are moving. To do so do as follows.
subtract 1 from 3
3-1=2
So each number is having 2 added to it.
Now add two to 7 and the numbers afterwards till you get the 12th term
7+2=9
1+3+5+7+9
9+2=11
1+3+5+7+9+11
11+2=13
1+3+5+7+9+11+13
13+2=15
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15
15+2=17
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17
17+2=19
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19
19+2=21
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21
21+2=23
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21+23
So 23 is the 12th term
