Answer
The first five terms are 2, 7, 12, 17, and 22.
Work Step by Step
$a_{n}$=5n-3
$a_{1}$=5(1)-3 =2
$a_{2}$=5(2)-3 =7
$a_{3}$=5(3)-3 =12
$a_{4}$=5(4)-3 =17
$a_{5}$=5(5)-3 =22
*The 'n' can be replaced with the number of the term you are trying to find. For example, if you need to find the 15th term you would plug the number 15 in for the 'n'.
