    Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

    a (n) = a+d (n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number

    We are only told that d=5 and a (12) = 63 so:

    53=a+5 (12-1)

    53=a+60-5

    53=a+55

    a=-2 now we have solved for a and we can say:

    a (n) = - 2+5 (n-1) which neatened up ...

    a (n) = - 2+5n-5

    a (n) = 5n-7

    The above is the rule to find the value of the nth term.
