Answer:

368

Explanation:

You want the 41st term of the arithmetic sequence that starts 8, 17, 26.

Arithmetic sequence

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is given by ...

an = a1 +d(n -1)

for first term a1 and common difference d.

Difference

The difference between terms is ...

d = 17 -8 = 9

41st term

The first term is a1 = 8, so the 41st term is ...

a41 = a1 +d(41 -1) = 8 +9(41 -1) = 368

The 41st term of the sequence is 368.
