Answer: - 40
Explanation:
The first step is to determine if there is a common difference between the terms. We would subtract the first term from the second,the second from the third and compare the difference
- 12 - - 5 = - 12 + 5 = - 7
- 19 - - 12 = - 19 + 12 = - 7
Thus, there is a common difference of - 7
Thus, the term after - 33 is
- 33 + - 7
= - 33 - 7
