Answer:
= 5n
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference d between consecutive terms
d = 10 - 5 = 15 - 10 = 20 - 15 = 25 - 20 = 30 - 25 = 5
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 5 and d = 5 , then
= 5 + 5(n - 1) = 5 + 5n - 5 = 5n
