    Answer: 3

    Step-by-step explanation: The way I like to do this problem is work backwards. So, starting at 14, we subtract the previous term which is 11 to get 3. In the same way, 11 - 8 is 3, and 8 - 5 is 3. Since we end up with as our result each time, that's the common difference or the number we are repeatedly adding to get from one term to the next.

    3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the common difference take the second term and subtract the first term

    8-5 = 3

    Check with the third term and subtract the second term

    11-8 = 3

    The common difference is 3
