Answer:

-71

Explanation:

We are given the general term of sequence:


\displaystyle \large{a_n = 4 - 5n}

This makes our job easier since the question gives a general term instead of sequence itself.

We want to find the 15th term — substitute n = 15.


\displaystyle \large{a_(15) = 4 - 5(15)} \\ \displaystyle \large{a_(15) = 4 - 75} \\ \displaystyle \large{a_(15) = - 71}

Therefore, the 15th term is -71
