So, we have the expressions:


f(1)=2\text{ and }f(n)=f(n-1)+7

Lets try to find the firsts numbers of this sequence:


f(1)=2
f(2)=f(1)+7\rightarrow f(2)=2+7\rightarrow f(2)=9
f(3)=f(2)+7\rightarrow f(3)=(2+7)+7\rightarrow f(3)=2+2*7\rightarrow f(3)=16
f(4)=f(3)+7\rightarrow f(4)=(2+2*7)+7\rightarrow f(4)=2+3*7=23

If we continue the sequence, we can see the we can use the followed formula:


f(n)=2+(n-1)*7

To find the 30th number of the sequence, we just need to put 30 in the local of n:


f(30)=2+(30-1)*7\rightarrow f(30)=2+29*7=205

So, our 30th number of the sequence is 205.
