Answer: 186

Step-by-step explanation: If it goes up by 8 every time, all we have to do is do -30 + (8*27) We multiply it by 27 instead of 38 because -30 is the first term. Now lets solve the problem.

-30 + (8*27)

-30 + 216

186

The 28th term is equal to 186.

Sorry this is late! Hope this helped.
