Type the missing numbers in this sequence: -33, -40, -47, -54, _____, -68, _____

Find Pattern: Look at the sequence and find the pattern. -33, -40, -47, -54, _____, -68, _____Calculate Common Difference: Find the common difference by subtracting two consecutive terms. -40 - (-33) = -7 Common Difference: -7Find Next Term: Add the common difference to -54 to find the next term. -54 + (-7) = -61Correct Mistake: Now, find the term before -68 by adding the common difference to the last known term, -61. -61 + (-7) = -68 Wait, that's the same as the next term given. We made a mistake, we should have subtracted to find the term before -68.

Q. Type the missing numbers in this sequence:

\newline

-33

-40

-47

-54

, _____,

-68

, _____

Find Pattern: Look at the sequence and find the pattern. $\newline$ $-33$ , $-40$ , $-47$ , $-54$ , _____, $-68$ , _____
Calculate Common Difference: Find the common difference by subtracting two consecutive terms. $\newline$ $-40 - (-33) = -7$ $\newline$ Common Difference: $-7$
Find Next Term: Add the common difference to $-54$ to find the next term. $-54 + (-7) = -61$
Correct Mistake: Now, find the term before $-68$ by adding the common difference to the last known term, $-61$ . $\newline$ $-61 + (-7) = -68$ $\newline$ Wait, that's the same as the next term given. We made a mistake, we should have subtracted to find the term before $-68$ .
