Answer

$\boxed{49}$ is the 5th term of the sequence.

Steps

Step 1 ：Given the formula for the nth term of a sequence: $T(n) = 8n + 9$

Step 2 ：Substitute n = 5 to find the 5th term: $T(5) = 8(5) + 9$

Step 3 ：Calculate the value: $T(5) = 40 + 9$

Step 4 ：$T(5) = 49$

Step 5 ：$\boxed{49}$ is the 5th term of the sequence.
