Next in Decreasing Arithmetic Pattern (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on identifying the next term in decreasing arithmetic sequences. It requires recognizing patterns by calculating the constant difference between terms and applying it to predict the next number in the sequence. Each question presents a series of numbers which decrease by a specific amount, and the goal is to determine what number logically follows based on the established pattern. The exercises vary in difficulty and are suitable for practice in understanding and applying the principles of arithmetic sequences in a decreasing order.
