Hey there :)
We can find the common difference here as it is an arithmetic sequence.
The common difference between each term is:
We can find the unknown term by:
{easier way in this example}
OR
by the formula for finding the nth term
a₆ =
{a₆ because it is the 6th term to be found, (6-1) the nth term minus 1}
a₆ =
However this way is not essential here as the previous term is given.
