Answer:

613

Explanation:

nth term equation: an+b

Step 1:find difference between each number in the sequence.

In this case each number decreases by 3

Step 2: subtract 3(diff between each number) from the first number in the sequence to find the 0th term

4-3=1

Nth term= 3n+1

Step 3 : Substitution

3(204)+1

3×204=612

612+1=613
