The answer is 8,3,-2, -7, -12.

Solution:

Step 1. Identify the common difference

The common difference ( d ) can be found by subtracting each term from the previous term:

d = 3 - 8 = -5

d = -2 - 3 = -5

The common difference is d = -5.

Step 2. Find the missing terms

Now that we know the common difference, we can find the next terms in the sequence:

Fourth term = -2 + (-5) = -7

Fifth term = -2 + (-5) + (-5) = -2 - 5 = -7 -5 = -12

Final Sequence: 8, 3, -2, -7, -12
