For a linear sequence (same differences) look for the difference first. E.g.

7, 11, 15, 19 ...

This has a difference of 4 so the first part of the rule is 4n. (the rule follows the 4 times table)

Now compare the sequence to the 4 times table

7, 11, 15, 19 ...4, 8, 12, 16 ...

Out sequence is always 3 larger than the four times table so we adjust our rule by adding 3. So our final rule is 4n + 3.
