At each step the number being subtracted is reduced by 9 298 - 89 = 209 209 - 80 = 129 129 - 71 = 58 58 - 62 = -4 -4 - 53 = -57..........which is the next number.
-66 The sequence can be generated by the following quartic: t(n) = (-3n4 + 42n3 - 177n2 - 358n + 2808)/8 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

-57 298 - 89 = 209 209 - 80 = 129 129 - 71 = 58 58 - 62 = -4 -4 - 53 = -57 notice every number is subtracted by 9 less than the previous number's subtrator

At each step the number being subtracted is reduced by 9 298 - 89 = 209 209 - 80 = 129 129 - 71 = 58 58 - 62 = -4 -4 - 53 = -57..........which is the next number.
The sequence is formed by subtracting 89 at the first step and then reducing this figure by 9 at each successive step. 298 - 89 = 209 209 - 80 = 129 129 - 71 = 58 58 - 62 = -4 -4 - 53 = -57........this is the next number in the series.

-57... You're subtracting 9 from the difference each time.
298 less 209 is 89 209 less 129 is 80 129 less 58 is 71 58 less -4 is 62 The result of each subsequent equation is 9 less than the previous one (89, 80, 71...). The next result is going to be 62-9=53. The first number in each equation above is the same as the second number in the previous equation: 298 less 209 is 89 209 less 129 is 80So, the next equation will be: -4 less X is 53 Therefore, X is the next number in the original sequence, which resolves to: -57
It is a quadratic sequence (order 2) t(n) = (9n2 - 205n + 792)/2 for n = 1, 2, 3, ... and the next number is -57
-66 The sequence can be generated by the following quartic: t(n) = (-3n4 + 42n3 - 177n2 - 358n + 2808)/8 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
The difference between one number and the next in the sequence is decreasing by 9 each time. Therefore, the difference between -4 and the next number will be equal to 62 - 9 = 53. The next number is therefore equal to -4 - 53 = -57.
