Answer:

a₃₇ = 164

Explanation:

using this formula to find the nth term

a₃₇ = a₁ + (n-1)d

a₃₇ = 20+ (37-1)4

a₃₇ = 20+ (36)4

a₃₇ = 20 + 144

a₃₇ = 164

Here is our formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.


a_(n) = a_(1) + (n - 1)d

In this formula,
a_(n) represents the term we want to find,
a_(1) is our first term,

n is the term we want to find, and d is the common difference.

So we have
a_(37) = 20 + (37 - 1)4.

Simplifying inside the parentheses, we have

20 + 36 · 4 or 20 + 144 which gives us 164.

So the 37th term of the sequence is 164.
