STEP 6: Write the recursive sequence

Note that there is a common difference of  15. so d = 15

So, this sequence is an arithmetic sequence

The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is a_{n} = a_{n-1}+d

Since the common difference is d = 15

a_{n} = a_{n-1}+15


(so the nth term would be  a_{n} = a_{5} + 15 = 67)
