Just take the 13, then add 8, then subtract 4, then with what you got keep going on to the next term.

Answer:

13, 21, 17, 25, 21, 29

Explanation:

We have to write first five terms of a sequence.

We are given the following information:

The first term of series = 13

The rule to get the next term of the sequence:

Add 8 and then subtract 13

The sequence is as follows:


1^(st)~ term = 13\\2^(nd)~ term = 13 + 8 = 21\\3^(rd)~term = 21 - 4 = 17\\4^(th)~term = 17 + 8 = 25\\5^(th)~term = 25 - 4 = 21\\6^(th)~term = 21 + 8 = 29

These are the required next five terms of the given sequence.
