10. Then 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, etc.
The nth term would be -2n+14 nth terms: 1 2 3 4 Sequence:12 10 8 6 This sequence has a difference of -2 Therefore it would become -2n. Replace n with 1 and you would get -2. To get to the first term you have to add 14. Therefore the sequence becomes -2n+14. To check your answer replace n with 2, 3 or 4. You will still obtain the number in the sequence that corresponds to the nth term. :)

10-2x for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Since the domain of an arithmetic sequence is the set of natural numbers, then the formula for the nth term of the given sequence with the first term 10 and the common difference -2 is an = a1 + (n -1)(-2) = 10 - 2n + 2 = 12 - 2n.
*12, /4, *12, /4
The answer for the number that follows the sequence 4-6-3-7-9-6-10 is 12. The pattern is +2,-3,+4,+2,-3,+4,.....,+2,-3,+4,...
