This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference d, which can be calculated as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "Number of terms from a2 to a9: 7, so the total difference for 7 terms is
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2Ad=39-15=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "Similarly, from a9 to a16 we have again 7 terms, so the total difference will again be 24.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore: \"a16=a9%2B24=63\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
