Identify a numerical pattern and write a rule that matches it.
Describe how a pattern changes each step
Problem
Analyze the pattern \(5,~8,~11,~14\) and state a short rule in words for the change at each step.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
To describe how the sequence changes, compare neighboring terms rather than only the first and last terms. Compute the change from one term to the next, repeat that check across every gap, and look for one operation that remains consistent. A step-by-step rule is justified only when it reproduces each transition in the given order.
