What is the 8th term of the sequence given by an = 3n + 5?

To find the 8th term of the sequence defined by the formula a_n = 3n + 5, we will substitute n with 8.

Let’s do the calculation:

a8 = 3(8) + 5

Now, multiply:

3(8) = 24

Adding 5 gives:

24 + 5 = 29

Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is 29.
