To find the 29th term of the sequence defined by the formula \( a_n = 80n + 79 \), we simply need to substitute \( n = 29 \) into the formula.
\[
a_{29} = 80(29) + 79
\]
Calculating \( 80 \times 29 \):
\[
80 \times 29 = 2320
\]
Now, add 79 to this result:
\[
a_{29} = 2320 + 79 = 2399
\]
Thus, the 29th term of the sequence is
\[
\boxed{2399}
\]
\[
a_{29} = 80(29) + 79
\]
Calculating \( 80 \times 29 \):
\[
80 \times 29 = 2320
\]
Now, add 79 to this result:
\[
a_{29} = 2320 + 79 = 2399
\]
Thus, the 29th term of the sequence is
\[
\boxed{2399}
\]
