What is the change between pairs of consecutive terms?
9
Practice makes perfect
By observing the change that occurs between consecutive terms, we can determine the common difference of the arithmetic sequence. Here, we can see that each term is 9 more than the previous term.
- 16+ 9 âź¶ - 7 + 9 âź¶ 2 + 9 âź¶ 11 + 9 âź¶...
Therefore, the common difference is 9.
