Answer:

the Answer is no the sequence is not arithmetic

Explanation:

the sequence 2, 7, 13, 20 is not have a number in common here i will show you.

try adding 2 plus 5 you get 7 but you add 5 to7 you do not get 13 you get 12 so that is not the number in common.

now try 2 plus 6 you get 8 so that is not it

now try 2 plus 2 you get 4 so that is not it

so all that is left is the sequence is not arithmetic. Your Welcome

The sequence is 5, 6, 7. It is not arithmetic because it is not the same number in order- 3, 3, 3 so there is no common difference
I got that by subtracting 2 from 7 and I got 5 I subtracted 7 from 13 and got 6 I subtracted 13 from 20 and got 7
Hope this helps you!! :)
