To solve this problem, we need to know the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. The formula is
a_(n) = t₁ + (n-1)d, with
a_(n) being the nth term, t₁ being the first term, and d being the distance between terms. Now we can substitute values to figure out what
a_(n) is. When substituting, the equation becomes:


a_(n) = 12 + 29(-6)

a_(n) = -162

That means that the 30th term in this arithmetic sequence is -162.
