Answer:

25

Explanation:

The Sequence is not properly written. Here is the correct sequence

408, 433, 458...

THe sequence is an arithmetic sequence. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as;


T_n = a+(n-1)d where;

a is the first term

d is the common difference.

Common difference is the constant value that is being added to preceding term of the sequence to get the next value in the sequence.

T1 = 408

T2 = 433

T3 = 458

d = T3-T2 = T2-T1

d = 458-433 = 433-408

d = 25

Hence the common difference in the sequence is 25
