Just plug in 30 for n in 3n-1. The answer is 89.
Say if you had the pattern 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 To find the nth term you have to see what the gap between the numbers is. In our case this is 5. Then you have to find out what the difference between the gap and the first number. In this sequence it is 10. So your answer would be..... 5n+10 That's how you find the nth term.

You can see that all the numbers go up by 7. This means that the first part of the nth term rule for this sequence is 7n. Now, you have to find out how to get from 7 to 3, 14 to 10, 21 to 17 ... this is because we are going up in the 7 times table. To get from the seventh times table to the sequence, you take away four. So the answer is : 7n-4
