8,11,14,17,20 What is the next number? What is the 150th term? We're adding by 3 to the last number in the sequence, so we have the next number as: 20 + 3 = 23 For the nth term, we have a formula of this: 3n + 5 3(1) + 5 = 8 3(2) + 5 = 11 3(3) + 5 = 14 With n = 150, we have: 3(150) + 5 = 450 + 5 = 455
