A) 5, 12, 19, 26, 33
B) 5, -2, -9, -16, -23
C) 12, 19, 26, 33, 40
D) 5, 35, 245, 1715, 12005
E) 5, 12, 17, 22, 27

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first term is 5 and the common difference is 7, so to find the next term we add 7 to the previous term. Therefore, the sequence is:
$$5, 5+7, 5+2(7), 5+3(7), 5+4(7) = 5, 12, 19, 26, 33$$
which matches choice A.
