Answer:

a₉₀ = 168

Explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

- 8 - (- 10) = - 6 - (- 8) = 4 - (- 6) = 2

this indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term


a_(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

here a₁ = - 10 and d = 2 , then

a₉₀ = - 10 + (89 × 2) = - 10 + 178 = 168
