Answer:

102

Explanation:

The first step is to find out how to find the next number in the term.

In this we can see that to get to the next number in the term we need to add 5.

The easiest way to figure out the 21st term of this, would be to multiply 5×21. This is equal to 105.

But since we started at three less than 5, we need to subtract 3 from 105. 105-3=102.

The 21st term is 102.
