Answer 1

Answer:

a) 8, 3, -2, -7, -12, -17, -22. ...

b) 20, 12, 4, -4, -12, -20, ...

c) -14, -10, -6, -2, 2, 6, 10, 14, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Subtracting 5 from each term,

   8 - 5 = 3;

   3 - 5 = -2;

  -2 - 5 = -7;

     so on....

b) Subtracting 8 from each term,

   20 - 8 = 12;

    12 - 8 = 4;

     4 - 8 = -4;

    -4 - 8 = -12

    so on.....

c) Adding 4 to each term;

   -14 + 4 = -10;

   -10 + 4 = -6;

   -6  + 4 = -2;

   -2  + 4 = 2;

   so on.....
