You can't "do" a certain arithmetic sequence; you have to explain what "do" means.

If a sequence is denoted a_1, a_2, ..., a_n, ... and n = 19, then a_19 denotes the 19th term of the sequence. d=8 is the common difference; i.e. each term in the sequence is 8 more than the previous one. a_n = 155 means the nth term is 155. You'll have to rephrase your problem for it to make more sense and obtain an answer.
