To find the 10th term of an arithmetic sequence, follow these steps:### Given Arithmetic Sequence:\[ 12, 13, 18, 21, \ldots \]1. **Identify the first term \(a\) and the common difference \(d\):**   - The first term \(a\) is \(12\).   - To find the common difference \(d\), subtract the first term from the second term:     \[     d = 13 - 12 = 1     \]   - However, if we check the second and third terms:     \[     d = 18 - 13 = 5     \]   - It seems there is an inconsistency in the given terms. To confirm the correct pattern, let’s use \(d = 5\) (the difference between the second and third terms).2. **Use the formula for the \(n\)-th term of an arithmetic sequence:**   \[   a_n = a + (n - 1) \cdot d   \]   Where:   - \(a = 12\) (first term)   - \(d = 5\) (common difference)   - \(n = 10\) (the term number we are finding)3. **Calculate the 10th term:**   \[   a_{10} = 12 + (10 - 1) \cdot 5   \]   \[   a_{10} = 12 + 9 \cdot 5   \]   \[   a_{10} = 12 + 45   \]   \[   a_{10} = 57   \]**Conclusion:**The 10th term of the arithmetic sequence is \(57\).
