#a_n=7n#

Explanation:

#"the terms are the terms of an "color(blue)"arithmetic sequence"#

#a,a+d,a+2d, ...... ,a+(n-1)d#

#"where a is the first term and d the common difference"#

#a+(n-1)d" is the n th term"#

#"here "d=28-21=21-14=14-7=7#

#rArra_n=7+7(n-1)=7n#

#rArra_n=7n" generates the terms in the sequence"#
