loser66 · Answer

5 + $\color{red}{17} $ = 22
22 +  $\color{red}{17} $ = 39 
39 + $\color{red}{17} $ = 56

so what does that mean @Loser66

anonymous · Answer

im sorry i have no clue what to do

loser66 · Answer

that means the second guy = the first guy + 17, the third guy = the second guy +17, the fourth guy = the third guy + 17 .. and so on
you just put "the guy " in general term is $a_n$  = $a_{n-1} +17$. 
It 's not that hard if you really want to study. But if you don't want to know how to find out. It's perfectly OK to me. I got it, you got it or not, I don't care. That's the answer.
