From the given terms you see that the first term of the sequence is a 1 = 5 and the common difference is d=4, so to calculate the fourty third term you can use the formula:
a n = a 1 + ( n - 1 ) × d
If we substitute the given data we get:
a 43 = 5 + ( 43 - 1 ) × 4 = 5 + 42 × 4 = 5 + 168 = 173
Answer: The 43rd term is a 43 = 173
