Answer:

              d = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence the common difference is always the difference between the next term and the previous term:

[tex]d= a_2-a_1=a_3-a_2=...=a_{150}-a_{149}=....[/tex]

we have:   [tex]a_1=2\quad and\quad a_2=5[/tex]  

so:

     [tex]d=5-2 =3[/tex]
