We need to determine the relationship between the consecutive terms of the series to evaluate the succeeding terms of the series.

How to find the terms in a series?

The difference between the first and second terms is [tex]60-80=-20[/tex].

The difference between the second and the third terms is [tex]45-60=-15[/tex]

So, the difference between the third and the fourth terms will be [tex]-10[/tex]. So, the fourth term will be [tex]45-10=35[/tex].

Similarly, the difference between the eighth and the ninth terms will be [tex]-15[/tex]. So, the ninth term will be [tex]35-(-15)=50[/tex].

Thus, the ninth term of the series is [tex]50[/tex].
