112 is the 37th term

Explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence

So, T_n=a+(n-1)d
where a is your first term, n is your nth term and d is the difference between 2 adjacent terms

Looking at the sequence,
a=4
d=3

Since you want to find the 37th term, then n=37

T_n=a+(n-1)d
T_37=4+(37-1)3
T_37=4+36times3
T_37=112

a_37=112

Explanation:

"these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence"

"the n th term of an arithmetic sequence is"

•color(white)(x)a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

"where "a_1" is the first term and d the common difference"

d=7-4=10-7=3" and "a_1=4

a_(37)=4+(36xx3)=4+108=112
