Answer:

The nth term of the sequence is

5 + 2n

Explanation:

The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

a = 7

d = 9 - 7 = 2 or 11 - 9 = 2

So the nth term for the sequence is

A(n) = 7 + ( n - 1)2

= 7 + 2n - 2

A(n) = 5 + 2n

Hope this helps you
