Answer

\[\boxed{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n&{{a_n}} \\ 1&7 \\ 2&{12} \\ 3&{17} \\ 4&{22} \\ 5&{27} \end{array}}\]

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let }}{a_n} = 5n + 2 \cr & {\text{Complete for }}n = 1,2,3,4,5 \cr & n = 1 \cr & {a_1} = 5\left( 1 \right) + 2 = 7 \cr & \cr & n = 2 \cr & {a_2} = 5\left( 2 \right) + 2 = 12 \cr & \cr & n = 3 \cr & {a_3} = 5\left( 3 \right) + 2 = 17 \cr & \cr & n = 4 \cr & {a_4} = 5\left( 4 \right) + 2 = 22 \cr & \cr & n = 5 \cr & {a_5} = 5\left( 5 \right) + 2 = 27 \cr} $$ \[\begin{gathered} {\text{Completing the table}} \hfill \\ \boxed{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n&{{a_n}} \\ 1&7 \\ 2&{12} \\ 3&{17} \\ 4&{22} \\ 5&{27} \end{array}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
