The answer is -189. The difference between each term is 35 because 126 - 21 = 105. 1053 (because of the difference between 7 and 10) = 35 and then you would have to 35×(6) to go back to the first term . With that you would get -210 and then you would have to add 21 because of where you started at (7th term).
