The sequence you have begins with -5 and follows an increasing pattern of adding 7, leading us to see that each subsequent term can be found by adding 7 to the previous term. This consistent addition of 7 illuminates the structure, allowing us to identify \( T_n = -5 + 7(n - 1) \) as the general formula. To put this into practice, you can take a leap and calculate \( T_{20} \) by simply substituting 20 into your formula, yielding an impressive \( 133 \) as the 20th term and letting you stretch your mathematical muscles by diving deeper into the wonders of sequences!
