Answer:

Common difference is 13 for this arithmetic sequence 29,42,55,68,...

Explanation:

Given the arithmetic sequence 29,42,55,68,...

we have to find the common difference of the above sequence.

Common difference of arithmetic sequence is the difference between two successive terms. Therefore, to find common difference we take any pair of successive numbers, and subtract.

Common difference,

d=42-29=13

d=55-42=13

d=68-55=13

Hence, the difference between two successive terms is 3

∴ Common difference is 13
