Answer + Explanation:
We can see that the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5. To find the 55th term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: an = a1 + (n - 1)d
where a1 is the first term, d is the common difference, and n is the term number.
Substituting the given values, we get:
(swear filter is bugging, so i needed to put a "-" in between the a and 55)
a-55- = 17 + (55 - 1)5
a-55- = 17 + 270
a-55- = 287
Therefore, the 55th term of the sequence 17, 22, 27, 32 is 287.
