Answer:
an = 30 -5(n-1) OR an = 35 - 5n
a20 = -65
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for an arithmetic sequence is
an =a1 +d(n-1)
where a1 is the first term
d is the common difference
n is the term number
Substituting what we know
an = 30 -5(n-1)
We can rewrite this by distributing the 5
an = 30 -5n +5
= 35 - 5n
The 20th term is n=20
a20 = 30 - 5(20-1)
= 30 -5(19)
= 30 - 95
= -65
