Explanation:

This arithmetic progression (A.P.) begins with a first term of a = 5 and has a common difference of d = 3.

To find the nth term of an A.P. the formula is:


t_n = a + (n - 1)d

We're looking for the 75th term,
t_(75). Let's fill in the known values into the formula.


t_(75) = 5 + (75 - 1) * d

We can now plug in the value of the common difference d = 3:


t_(75) = 5 + (74) * 3

Let's calculate:


t_(75) = 5 + 222


t_(75) = 227

Therefore, the 75th term of the A.P. is 227.
