Question

The nth term of a sequence is 3n + 5

Write down the 5th and 6th terms of the sequence.

Here are the first three terms of a different sequence.
Write down two numbers that could be
the 4th and 5th terms of this sequence.
Give the rule you have used to get your numbers.

Answer 1

5th term is 20

6th term is 23

4th term is 17

Explanation:

Answer 2

5th term is 20

6th term is 23

4th term is 17

Explanation:

So what you need to do is put the number that you are trying to get in the space of n. So if you want the 5th term, put the number in the n space. So it reads 3 5+ 5

Then times the 3 and the 5 that are next to each other that you put in the space of n

15+5

Then add them together so it’s 20

Hope that help.
