5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, whats the difference between term 11 and 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also 5 but it could be 1 one of the 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct so each term is 5 more than the previous term, and each term is 5 less than the next term, so you can subtract 5 from the 10th term to get the 9th term, and repeat that process until you get the 5th term , and so on
