You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which sequence matches the recursive formula?
an = 2*an-1 + 5, where a1 = 5
a(1) = 5
a(2) = 2*5+5 = 15
a(3) = 2*15 + 5 = 35
a(4) = 2*35+5 = 75

You can put this solution on YOUR website! an = 2an-1 + 5 reads to me "double the number and add 5"
If we start with 5, the next number is 2*5=10 10+5 = 15
then 15*2 = 30 30+5 =35
Looks like choice B) 5, 15, 35, 75, ...
