Start at 125 create a pattern that subtracts 6 from each number stop when you have 5 numbers

Verified Answer :

125; 119, 113, 107, 101, 95

That sequence subtracts from 6. You can choose to either include or exclude 125

we know that

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant. The constant is called common difference

In this problem we have an arithmetic sequence

The common difference is equal to \(-6\)

Let

a1--------> the first term of the pattern

\(a1=125\)

\(a2=a1-6=125-6=119\)

\(a3=a2-6=119-6=113\)

\(a4=a3-6=113-6=107\)

\(a5=a4-6=1076=101\)

the pattern is equal to

\([125,119,113,107,101]\)
