I don't really understand how you can get this sequence...
An arithmetic sequence begins: 3,8,13,18...
what is the 61st term of the sequence?
The sequence is, you add 5 to the previous number.
2nd term, add 1 x 5 to 3
3rd term, add 2 x 5 to 3
4th term, add 3 x 5 to 3
So you see, for each nth term, add (n – 1) x 5 to 3
For the 61st term, add (61 – 1) * 5 to 3
(60 * 5) + 3 = 303
