14 - 2 = 12 (Difference between 5th term and 1st term)
12 / 4 = 3 (Divide by 4 as there is a difference of 4 terms between the first and fifth)
=> coefficient of n is 3
So far Un = 3n
Using that for the first term gives 3.
2 - 3 = - 1
=> constant is - 1
Therefore:
Un = 3n - 1
(This method only works for linear equations though)
