Answer:
10, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the common difference in this arithmetic sequence.
31 - 24 = 7 and 24 - 17 = 7, so 7 is the common difference.
The fourth term is then 17-7 = 10. The fifth term is 10-7 = 3.
Answer:
The sequence would now look like this: 31, 24, 17, 10, 3
The next two terms are 10 and 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for a pattern among these numbers:
31 24 17
31 comes down to 24, meaning it went down 7 units.
24 comes down to 17, meaning this, too, went down 7 units.
So, what's' the pattern? The numbers are being subtracted by 7.
17 – 7 = 10
10 – 7 = 3
Thus, 10 and 3 are the next terms.
