Answer:

175


Step-by-step explanation:

1. an (any term) = 27
2. a1 (first term) = -7
3. d (common difference) = 7

• Use the explicit formula:

an = d(n - 1) + a1

a27 = 7(27 - 1) - 7


- Subtract inside the parenthesis ():

a27 = 7(26) - 7


- Distribute:

a27 = 182 - 7


- Subtract:

a27 = 175
