Question

3, 10, 17, 24. what is the 50th term in the sequence

Answer 1

check if you can write an equation relating the term number to the actual value
n1=3
n2=10 = 3+7
n3= 17 = n2+7 = n1+7+7 = n1 +2*7
n4= 24 = n1+3*7

so you will notice a pattern
for the x-th term

n_x =3+(x-1)*7

the 50th term would be n_50 = 3+(50-1) * 7
