To find the 8th term of the sequence given by the formula \( a_n = n - 3 \), we substitute \( n = 8 \) into the formula:
\[
a_8 = 8 - 3
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
a_8 = 5
\]
Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is \( \boxed{5} \).
\[
a_8 = 8 - 3
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
a_8 = 5
\]
Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is \( \boxed{5} \).
