Answer:

a₃₀ = 201

Explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

453 - 462 = 444 - 453 = - 9

this indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term


a_(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

here a₁ = 462 and d = - 9 , then

a₃₀ = 462 + (29 × - 9 ) = 462 - 261 = 201
