To find the 8th term of the sequence given by the formula $5n - 3$, we substitute $n = 8$ into the formula:

$5n - 3 = 5(8) - 3$

$= 40 - 3$

$= 37$

Therefore, the 8th term of this sequence is 37.

Here are some related questions you might find interesting:

1. What is the general formula for the sum of the first $n$ terms of this arithmetic sequence?
2. How do we find the $n$-th term if we are given the first few terms of a sequence?
3. What is the 15th term of this sequence?
4. If the sequence represents a pattern, how can we determine if it is arithmetic, geometric, or neither?
5. How do we derive the formula for the $n$-th term of an arithmetic sequence?

Tip: In an arithmetic sequence, each term is obtained by adding a constant difference to the previous term. The formula for the $n$-th term of an arithmetic sequence is $a_n = a_1 + (n-1) \times d$, where $a_1$ is the first term and $d$ is the common difference.
