Question

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -30 and the common difference is 8. Find the 28th term.

Answer 1

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.
