Example Question #5 : How To Find The Next Term In An Arithmetic Sequence

Find the next term in the following sequence.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Determine what kind of sequence you have, i.e. whether the sequence changes by a constant difference or a constant ratio. You can test this by looking at pairs of numbers, but this sequence has a constant difference (arithmetic sequence).

So the sequence advances by subtracting 16 each time. Apply this to the last given term.
