Given the arithmetic sequence in the question, we can deduce that the common difference, d, is 4 and the first term, a1, is 4. The below formula will be used to solve for the 60th term of the sequence;

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

Where a1 = first term = 4

d = common difference = 4

n = number of term = 60

Let's go ahead and substitute the given values into our equation;

[tex]\begin{gathered} a_{60}=4+(60-1)4 \\ =4+(59)4 \\ =4+236 \\ =240 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the 60th term of the sequence is 240.
