Answer:  27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence : 13, 24, 35, ....

Here, first term : a= 13

Common difference: d=24-13 =11

The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by :-

[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]

It is given that the nth term is 299, so put [tex]a_n=299, a=13 ; d=11[/tex]

[tex]299=13+(n-1)11[/tex]

Subtract 13 from both sides , we get

[tex]286=(n-1)11[/tex]

Divide both sides by 11, we get

[tex]26=n-1[/tex]

Add 1 on both sides , we get

[tex]n=27[/tex]

Hence, the value of n= 27
