What is the next number in the sequence 5 10 3 15 20 13 25 30?

We are asked to determine the next numbers in the given sequence such as 5 10 3 15 20 13 25 30. In order for us to answer this problem, we need to find the difference between the two consecutive number and perform subtraction such as shown below:
For 5 and 10, the difference is -5
For 10 and 3, the difference is 7
For 3 and 15, the difference is -12
For 15 and 20, the difference is -5
For 20 and 13, the difference is 7
For 13 and 25, the difference is -12
For 25 and 30, the difference is -5

Now, we can identify the next two numbers in the sequence since we already know that the format of the difference is -5, 7 and -12. So the next numbers are the following:
30 - 7 = 23
23- (-12) = 35

Therefore, the sequence is 5 10 3 15 20 13 25 30 23 35

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

when multiplying or dividing by a negative on both sides you have to flip the inequality sign. this rule only applies to multiplying or dividing by a negative number in inequality equations. this rule is really important.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
