The set of series given are

13, 21, 29, 37

The number of terms is calculated as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

The first term is 13

To find the common difference, we need to substract the lowest from the highest number

21 - 13 =8

29 - 21 = 8

37 - 29 = 8

The common difference is 8

The 16th term is

T 16 = 13 + (16 - 1) x 8

Solve the parentheses first

T16 = 13 + (15) x 8

T16 = 13 + 120

T16 = 133

The 16th term of the series is 133
