you're just adding 5
example
8+5= 13
13+5=18
18+5=23
23+5=28
28+5=33
and so on :)

Answer: a+6d will defines the series for seven terms i.e. 38.

Explanation:

Since we have given that


8+13+18+......

Here, a = first term = 8

d = common difference is given by


a_2-a_1\\\\=13-8\\\\=5

So, we need to find the seven terms:

So, here n = 7

So, it becomes,


a_7=a+(n-1)d\\\\a_7=8+(7-1)5\\\\a_7=8+6* 5\\\\a_7=8+30\\\\a_7=38

Hence, a+6d will defines the series for seven terms i.e. 38.
