Answer:

Explanation:

To find the term of an arithmetic progression (AP) with a common difference of 2, we can use the formula:

=

1

+

(

1

)

a

n

=a

1

+(n−1)d

Where:

a

n

is the

nth term of the AP,

1

a

1

is the first term of the AP,

n is the position of the term we want to find, and

d is the common difference of the AP.

In this case, we have

1

=

5

a

1

=5 and

=

2

d=2. We want to find the term that is equal to 133. Let's substitute these values into the formula:

133

=

5

+

(

1

)

2

133=5+(n−1)⋅2

Simplifying the equation:

133

=

5

+

2

2

133=5+2n−2

Combining like terms:

133

=

3

+

2

133=3+2n

Now, isolate

n by subtracting 3 from both sides:

130

=

2

130=2n

Dividing both sides by 2:

=

65

n=65

Therefore, the term that is equal to 133 in the arithmetic progression 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ... is the 65th term.
