Answer:

(30-5n)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is :

25,20,15,10,5

Here,

First term, a = 25

Common difference = 20-25 = -5

We need to find the nth term of the given sequence. The formula for the nth term is given by :

[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d\\\\a_n=25+(n-1)(-5)\\\\=25-5n+5\\\\=30-5n[/tex]

So, the nth term of the above sequence is (30-5n).
