Answer 1

61

Explanation:

Answer 2

The 12th term is 61

Explanation:

I will assume that your a(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1) is correct; the rest is redundant (duplicative, unneeded).

To find the 12th term, substitute 12 for n in the above formula:

a(12) = -5 + 6(12 - 1) = -5 + 6(11) = 66 - 5, or 61

The 12th term is 61
