Answer:

50th term is 159

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term=159

a + (n -1)*d = 159

12 + (n-1)*3= 159

(n - 1)*3 = 159 - 12

(n - 1)*3 = 147

n -1 = 147/3

n - 1 = 49

n = 49 + 1

n= 50

Answer: n=50th term

Step-by-step explanation:

An= a1+(n-1)d

An= nth term

A1= first term

N= nth position

D= common difference

An =159

A1= 12

D= 3

N= ?

Substitute the values

An=a1+(n-1)d

159=12+(n-1)3

Collect like terms

159-12=(n-1)3

147=3n-3

147+3=3n

150=3n

N=150/3

N= 50

Therefore 50th term will give 156
