Answer:

a_11 = -45x + 56

Explanation:

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference which can be found by subtracting a term from the next term.

constant difference = d = -9x + 11 - (-5x + 6)

d = -9x + 11 + 5x - 6

d = -4x + 5

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

a_11 = a_1 + (11 - 1)(-4x + 5)

a_11 = -5x + 6 + 10(-4x + 5)

a_11 = -5x + 6 - 40x + 50

a_11 = -45x + 56
