If aₙ = 8n − 5, which term is equal to 155?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: n = 20

Direct answer: option C, n = 20. The formula gives the value of the term at position n. To find which position has value 155, set the formula equal to 155: 8n − 5 = 155. Add 5 to both sides, obtaining 8n = 160. Divide both sides by 8, so n = 20. A direct check gives a₂₀ = 8(20) − 5 = 160 − 5 = 155. Thus the twentieth term is 155. Option A gives 8(18) − 5 = 139, so it is too small. Option B gives 152 − 5 = 147, also too small. Option D gives 168 − 5 = 163, which is too large. Only C satisfies the original equation. The important idea is that n is the unknown position, so we solve an equation rather than simply substitute the answer choices without a plan. Memory cue: desired term value equals the rule; isolate n step by step.
