you can notice that the arithmetic sequence increases by 2/3 each term.
in order to find the 8th term, we do
2/3 + 7 * 2/3
= 2/3 + 14/3
= 16/3
for future reference, the general formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is: an=a1+(n−1)d
hope this helped! please let me know if you have any further questions :)
