"Arithmetic means" means that a constant number is being added again and again to create a sequence.
Let "the number" = n
We know that n is negative because the numbers in the sequence are getting more negative.
n = ( - 24 ) - ( - 8 ) 4
(The denominator of 4 comes from the 4 times a number has to be added)
n = - 16 4
n=−4
