Let's create an equation to find any term in this sequence.
First, we need to know the first term and the common difference between terms.
The first term = -10
The common difference = 8 - (-10) = 8 + 10 = 18
Now, let's create our arithmetic sequence formula.
-10 + 18(n - 1)
To find the 60th term, let's plug 60 in for n
-10 + 18(60 - 1)
Simplify the value inside the parentheses.
-10 + 18(59)
Multiply 18 by 59
-10 + 1062
The 60th term = 1052
