Notice that the numbers 1,4,7,10,13 form an arithmetic progression with the common difference of 3:
4-1 = 3; 7-4 = 3; 10-7 = 3; 13-10 = 3.
So, you can use the standard formula for the n-th term of an AP
Y = 1 + 3*(X-1), which is the same as Y = 3X -2, X = 1,2,3,4,5.
Or, if you don't know about arithmetic progression, you can guess the formula
and check its validity directly on your own.
Solved.
Enjoy and have fun.
