We have the next sequence

-17,-7,3,13

first we need to find the difference between each value

-17+d=-7

d=17-7

d=10

then we have the next formula in order to find any number in the sequence


a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

in our case

n=35

a1=-17

therefore for a35


a_(35)=-17+10(35-1)
a_(35)=323

therefore the answer is 323
