The first 5 terms in a number sequence are
10, 7, 4, 1, -2

what is the nth term of the sequence?

The ninth number in the sequence is -14 actually.

Further explanation:

Look at a number line if it helps. All you need to do is subtract 3 four more times to get your answer.

Hope this helps!

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
