Answer:

-20 + 7(n-1)

Explanation:

It's already given that d, or the common difference, is 7. The only thing left to do is to find the first term of this sequence.

We are given that
a_(11) = 50.

If we subtract the common difference 10 times we can find the first term.

- 7 x 10 = -70

50 - 70 = -20

The first term is -20. The only choice that shows this is the first one.
