Answer:

[tex]a_{37}=249[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence that has a common difference is an arithmetic sequence:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where aₙ is the nth term, n is the index, and d is the common difference.

In your question:

  • n = 37
  • a₁ = -39
  • d = 8

Plug those into the formula:

[tex]a_{37}=-39+(37-1)8[/tex]

Then solve:

[tex]a_{37}=-39+(36)8\\a_{37}=-39+288\\a_{37}=249[/tex]
