Answer:

708

Explanation:

We are adding 7 each time

15+7 = 22

22+7 = 29

29+7 = 36

So the common difference is 7

The first term is 15

The formula is

an = a1+d(n-1) where n is the term number

an = 15+7(n-1)

We want to find the 100th term

a100 = 15+7(100-1)

a100 = 15+7(99)

= 15+693

= 708
