Answer:

7

Explanation:

Finding the common difference of an arithmetic sequence is easy peasy lemon squeezy. All you have to do is take any term and subtract it from the next one. For instance, if you take 1 and subtract it from 8, you get 7. If you take 8 and subtract it from 15, you get 7 again. You can do this for any pair of terms and you will always get 7. That's the common difference of the sequence 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43. It means that you just add 7 to each term to get the next one. Isn't that neat?
