The arithmetic sequence is .

The first term .

Find the common difference by subtracting successive terms.

The common difference (d) is –3.

Find the nth term, so using the nth term formula: .

           (Substitute , and d = –3)

Distibute terms using distributive property: a(b – c)= ab – ac.

             (Product of two difference signs is negative)

                      (Product of two same signs is positive)

Apply commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a.

                                  (Apply additive inverse property: )

Find the 10th term in the sequence.

                               (Substitute n = 10)

                                     (Multiply: )
