5 times a number and 7 : last option

8 more than the product of 7 : second option

5 less than the quotient of 8 : first option

twice the difference of 8 and a number : thrid option

Step-by-step explanation:

Common sense

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
