Answer: 187

Step-by-step explanation: 17 - 12 = 5 and 22 - 17 = 5

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1) d

where a₁ = 12, n = 36, d = 5

a₃₆ = 12 + (36 - 1) 5

a₃₆ = 12 + 35 × 5

a₃₆ = 12 + 175

a₃₆ = 187

187 is the 36th term

a=12,d=17-12=5

nth term =a+(n-1)d

36th term=12+(36-1)5

=12+(35×5)

12+175

36th term=187
