Oh honey, looks like we're counting down by 4 each time. So, if we keep that pattern going, the next number would be 5. So, the nth term in this sequence is 21 - 4n, where n is the position of the term in the sequence.

Oh, dude, it's like you're trying to make me do math or something. Okay, so the pattern here is just subtracting 4 each time, right? So, if you start at 21 and subtract 4 three times, you get to 9. So, the nth term would be 21 - 4n. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Oh, what a lovely sequence you have there! To find the nth term, we can see that the sequence is decreasing by 4 each time. So, if we let n represent the term number, the nth term can be found using the formula 25 - 4n. Keep exploring the beauty of patterns in sequences, my friend!

The nth term is 25-4n and so the next term will be 5
