To find which term of the sequence has a value of 5, we can set the expression for the nth term equal to 5 and solve for n:

\[ 50 - 3n = 5 \]

Subtract 50 from both sides:

\[ -3n = -45 \]

Divide both sides by -3:

\[ n = 15 \]

So, the term with a value of 5 in the sequence corresponds to the 15th term.
