Do it yourself.

In the first box, put in 3.

Second box, 5.

Third box, 100.

3 is the first term.

5 is the common difference.

100 is the term you want to find.

I don't know..what did you do to try to get the answer? @Natedogg1

Answer 11

i got the common difference is 3 and sub 100-1 (n-1) and 3+99*3= 297+3 = 300

Answer 12

You thought the common difference was 3..but it's 5.

So it's:

3+99*5= 495+3 = 498

It's 5..

Look:

3, 8, 13, 18, …

It's adding 5 everytime..

3 + 5 = 8

Next term = 8

8 + 5 = 13

Next term = 13

13 + 5 = 18

Next term = 18

Etc..
