Answer:

aₙ = 7 +3(n -1)

Explanation:

The numbers in the given sequence have a common difference, so this is an arithmetic sequence. The formula for the n-th term applies.

aₙ = a₁ +d(n -1)

Application

The first term is 7. The common difference is 10-7 = 3. Using the above formula for the n-th term, we find it to be ...

aₙ = 7 +3(n -1)

__

Additional comment

This can be simplified to ...

aₙ = 3n +4
