S+=+6n-5
Work out the first three terms of this sequence"
The first three terms are found by substituting n with 1 (first term), 2 (second term) and 3 (third term)

so
n=1 gives: S=6%2A1-5+=+6-5+=+1
n=2 gives: S=6%2A2-5=+12-5+=+7
n=3 gives: S=6%2A3-5+=+18-5+=+13

So the first three terms of S are 1, 7 and 13.
