To find the value of the 25th term of an arithmetic sequence, I need to know the first term and the common difference. The first term is 2, and the common difference is 3, since each term is 3 more than the previous one. The general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is $a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d$, where $a_1$ is the first term, $d$ is the common difference, and $a_n$ is the nth term. Plugging in the values for this sequence, I get $a_{25} = 2 + (25 - 1)3$. Simplifying, I get $a_{25} = 2 + 72 = 74$.
