Answer:

The 30th term of the sequence is -77

Explanation:

The formula for finding the nth term of of an AP is expressed as

Tn = a+(n-1)d

n is the number of terms of the sequence

a is the first term

d is the common difference

Given the AP 10, 7, 4...

The first term a = 10

number of term = 30 (since we are looking for the 30th term of the sequence)

d = 7-10 = 4-7 = -3

on substitution;

T30 = 10+(30-1)*-3

T30 = 10+29(-3)

T30 = 10-87

T30 = -77

The 30th term of the sequence is -77
