d = term10 - term
=-30 -(-24) = -6
in a + 8d = -24
a - 48 = -24
a = 24
term30 = a + 29d
= 24 + 29(-6) = -150
the general formula for each term is
term(n) = a + (n-1)d
= 24 + (n-1)(-6)
= 24 - 6n + 6
= -6n + 30
=-30 -(-24) = -6
in a + 8d = -24
a - 48 = -24
a = 24
term30 = a + 29d
= 24 + 29(-6) = -150
the general formula for each term is
term(n) = a + (n-1)d
= 24 + (n-1)(-6)
= 24 - 6n + 6
= -6n + 30
