Question

If you start with 2 and count by 3s until you reach 449, you will get the sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, …, 449. If 449 is the Nth number, what is the value of N?

Answer 1

To find the value of N in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, ..., 449, we count the number of terms by subtracting 2 from 449 and dividing by 3. The value of N is 147.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of N, we need to count how many terms are in the sequence. We start with 2 and increase by 3 each time until we reach 449. From 2 to 449, we can count the number of terms by subtracting 2 from 449 and dividing by 3. So, (449 - 2) / 3 = 147. Therefore, the value of N is 147.
