The answer is 32 Why?

Because since it's getting added by times 2 for every number the number after 16 would be 32 when doing 16 x 2 and since the last number being -16 was negative the number after it would be positive, also if you want it more straight forward the 32 cannot be negative because when you times a negative with a positive you get a positive. Hope this helps!
