4. rishavraj

wht do u think??

5. K.Binks

I have no idea, I just started this unit. I was hoping someone could explain it to me so I could do the rest on my own.

by definition arithmetic means is the average $\frac{ -5+(-25) }{ 2 }=-15$

7. anonymous

i would go with B

8. rishavraj

@saseal it can't be B ever

9. taramgrant0543664

10. taramgrant0543664

Each of them need to have equal spacing

11. rishavraj

14. taramgrant0543664

Technically it wasn't a direct answer it was a question of a possible answer...
