Itzel Curtis · Answer 1

24, - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometric sequence, the previous number is being multiplyed by - 2 each time

This said the next number is 24.

-12*-2=24

and the next one is - 48.

24*-2=-48

Orlando · Answer 2

24, - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

the pattern is to multiply by - 2, so - 12 times - 2 is 24 and 24 times - 2 is - 48
