Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

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: $a_6=a_5+5$

$a_6=18+5=23$

Answer 2

The answer is 23 u add 5 each time
