Arithmetic sequence is t(n) = a + (n-1)*d where a is the first term, d is the difference and t(n) is the n'th term
So:
145 = a + 7d from the 8'th term
607 = a + 49d from the 50'th term
Subtract the first equation from the second
462 = 42d
d = 462/42 = 11
Substitute this back into the first equation
145 = a + 7*11
a = 145 - 77 = 68
Hence t(129) = 68 + 128*11 = 1476
.

please help !!! In an arithmetic sequence, t(8) = 145 and t(50) = 607. Find t(129).
$$\small{\text{$
\begin{array}{lrcl}
