Answer:

The 50th term is 206

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term rule = 5n-44

So, the 50th term = 5×50-44
= 250-44

= 206

Final answer:

The 50th term of the sequence is 206.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is -39, -34, -29, -24,...

We can see that the sequence is increasing by 5 each time. So, to find the 50th term, we can start with the first term -39 and keep adding 5 to find the next terms.

The 50th term would be:

-39 + (49 * 5) = -39 + 245 = 206
