See explanation.

Explanation:

From the given terms you see that the first term of the sequence is $a_{1} = 5$ $a_1=5$ and the common difference is $d = 4$ $d=4$ , so to calculate the fourty third term you can use the formula:

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1) \times d$ $a_n=a_1+(n-1)xxd$

If we substitute the given data we get:

$a_{43} = 5 + (43 - 1) \times 4 = 5 + 42 \times 4 = 5 + 168 = 173$ $a_43=5+(43-1)xx4=5+42xx4=5+168=173$ .

Answer: The 43rd term is $a_{43} = 173$ $a_43=173$
