Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = 21, and evaluate the expression.

[tex] a_n = -2 + \dfrac{3}{2}(n - 1) [/tex]

[tex] a_{21} = -2 + \dfrac{3}{2}(21 - 1) [/tex]

[tex] a_{21} = -2 + \dfrac{3}{2}(20) [/tex]

[tex] a_{21} = -2 + \dfrac{3}{1}(10) [/tex]

[tex] a_{21} = -2 + 30 [/tex]

[tex] a_{21} = 28 [/tex]
