The first term in the sequence is 5.

Explanation:

The sequence is 5,6,7,8,.....

  • The first term = 5
  • The second term = 6
  • The third term = 7

where x= 1,2,3,4,...

The sequence follows the pattern (x+4).

  • For x=1, then (1+4) = 5 which is the first term of the sequence.

Similarly,

  • For x=2, then (2+4) = 6 which is the second term of the sequence and the sequence follows the same pattern.
