    What is the next number?
    What is the 1000th term?

    We're adding 7 to the last term, so we get a next term of:
    21 + 7 = 28

    For our nth term, we notice a pattern for the nth term of:
    7n - 7

    • n = 1 --> 7(1) - 7 = 0
    • n = 2 --> 7(2) - 7 = 7
    • n = 3 --> 7(3) - 7 = 14
    For n = 1000, we have:
    7(1000) - 7 = 7000 - 7 = 6993
