Find the 60th term of the arithmetic sequence

Find the 60th term of the arithmetic sequence -10, 8, 26, ........

---

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers with a common difference.

In -10, 8, 26, ....... , the common difference is 18. {subtracted 26 - 18 to get the common difference}

Start with -10 and add 18 fifty-nine times in order to arrive at the 60th term.

-10 + 59(18) {started with -10 and added 18 fifty-nine times}
​= -10 + 1062 {multiplied 59 by 18}
= 1052 {added}
