1. **State the problem:** Find the 5th term of the sequence defined by $T_n = 3n - 2$. 2. **Formula:** The general term of the sequence is given by $T_n = 3n - 2$. 3. **Step 1:** Substitute $n=5$ into the formula to find $T_5$. 4. **Step 2:** Calculate $T_5 = 3 \times 5 - 2$. 5. **Step 3:** Simplify to get $T_5 = 15 - 2$. 6. **Step 4:** Final value is $T_5 = 13$. 7. **Explanation:** By substituting the term number into the formula, we find the value of that term in the sequence. **Answer:** $T_5 = 13$
