Find the 25th term of the sequence -7,-22,-37.

a₂₅ = - 367

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = - 22 - (- 7) = - 37 - (- 22) = - 15

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7 and d = - 15 , then

a₂₅ = - 7 + (24 × - 15) = - 7 - 360 = - 367

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
