Answer:

150

Explanation:

The formula for arithmetic sequences is:

f(n) = n1 + (n-1)d

where n is the term and d is equal to the difference between each term.

n1 is the first term in the sequence or -27 in this case.

Here, n is equal to 60 and d is equal to 3 since each term adds three and we know its arithmetic

So filling in the formula:

f(60) = -27 + (60-1)3

f(60) = -27 + 59*3
f(60) = -27 + 177

f(60) = 150
