The sequence has a difference of 10, so the nth term starts with 10n. Then to get to -8 from 10 you need to subtract 18. So the nth term is 10n - 18.
The nth term is 3n+7 and so the next number will be 22
To find the nth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern. In this case, it appears that the sequence is increasing by consecutive odd numbers: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc. Therefore, the nth term can be calculated using the formula: nth term = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term (5), n is the term number, and d is the common difference (3 for this sequence). So, the nth term for this sequence would be 5 + (n-1)3, which simplifies to 3n + 2.
