Solution

The common difference of an arithmetic sequence is the difference between any two successive terms.

Here are the steps to find the common difference:

Step 1: Choose any two successive terms in the sequence. For example, let's take the first two terms: -5 and -2.

Step 2: Subtract the first term from the second term. So, -2 - (-5) = 3.

Therefore, the common difference of the arithmetic sequence -5, -2, 1, 4, 7 is 3. You can check this by subtracting each term from the next term in the sequence, and you will find that the difference is always 3.
