The $n^{\text {th }}$ term of a sequence is given by \[ 30-2 n \] Work out the first three terms in the sequence. Give your answers in order.

Step 1 ：Substitute n with 1, 2, and 3 in the given formula \(30 - 2n\):

Step 2 ：First term: \(30 - 2(1) = 28\)

Step 3 ：Second term: \(30 - 2(2) = 26\)

Step 4 ：Third term: \(30 - 2(3) = 24\)

Step 5 ：\(\boxed{\text{The first three terms in the sequence are 28, 26, and 24}}\)
