1 - 1 = 0
0 - 2 = -2
-2 - 3 = -5
-5 - 4 = -9
What do you think will come next? What should be subtracted from -9?
0 - 2 = -2
-2 - 3 = -5
-5 - 4 = -9
What do you think will come next? What should be subtracted from -9?

1-1=0
0-2=-2
-2-3=-5
-5-4=-9
-9-5=-14 (would it be this)
0-2=-2
-2-3=-5
-5-4=-9
-9-5=-14 (would it be this)

Right. You're on the right track now to find the next two numbers.
