Question

What is the next term of the arithmetic sequence?
-2, 3, 8, 13, 18,

Answer 1

The answer is 23 u add 5 each time

Answer 2

`\boxed{\boxed{\sf~a_6=23}}`

Solution Steps:

This is an arithmetic sequence since there is a common difference between each term. In this case, adding 5 to the previous term in the sequence gives the next term. In other words,
`a_n=a_1+d(n-1)`.

Arithmetic Sequence:
`d=5`

Find the next term using the Arithmetic Sequence.

Arithmetic Sequence:
`a_6=a_5+5`

`a_6=18+5=23`
