Answer:

The fifth term is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence has a common difference therefore, it is an arithmetic sequence

The formula for arithmetic sequence is

[tex]an = a1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]

where,

an is the nth term,

a1 is the first term,

n is the term number and

d is the common difference

Find the 5th term.

an = a1 + ( n-1 ) d

a5 = 20 + ( 5-1 ) -6

a5 = 20+ ( -24 )

a5 = -4
