In the sequence (50,45,40,35,\ldots), how much less is each term than the previous term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

Find the differences between consecutive terms: \(45-50=-5\) and \(40-45=-5\). Thus, each term is 5 less than the preceding term, and the common difference is \(-5\). Since the question asks how much less, the answer is 5 rather than \(-5\). Exam tip: “how much less” gives the positive magnitude of the decrease, whereas the common difference is negative.
