Answer:

you know the sequence by looking at the first 3 terms

u1 = 8

difference = 7

so just use the formula

U36 = u1 + (n-1) d

U 36 = 8 + 35 x 7

U36 = 253

Hence 253 is the 36th term

Answer:

253

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - 8 = 7

22 - 15 = 7

This is an arithmetic sequence with first term, A_1 = 8, and common difference, d = 7.

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

a_1 = 8

n = 36

d = 7

a_36 = 8 + (36 - 1) × 7

a_36 = 8 + 35 × 7

a_36 = 253
