It is 4n+5 and so the next term will be 25
The nth term in the arithmetic progression 10, 17, 25, 31, 38... will be equal to 7n + 3.
You can see that all the numbers go up by 7. This means that the first part of the nth term rule for this sequence is 7n. Now, you have to find out how to get from 7 to 3, 14 to 10, 21 to 17 ... this is because we are going up in the 7 times table. To get from the seventh times table to the sequence, you take away four. So the answer is : 7n-4
5n - 3
