Instead of doing your problem for you, I'll do one that is done exactly the
same way step by step.  I'll do this one instead:
What is the two hundredth term of the sequence with a sub one equals 333
and d equals -4?
matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A%0D%0Aa%5Bn%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2Ca%5B1%5D%2B+%28n-1%29%2Ad%29

Plug in n = 200, a1 = 333, d = -4

matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A%0D%0Aa%5B200%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2C333%2B+%28200-1%29%2A%28-4%29%29

matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A%0D%0Aa%5B200%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2C333%2B+%28199%29%2A%28-4%29%29

matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A%0D%0Aa%5B200%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2C333%2B+%28-796%29%29

matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A%0D%0Aa%5B200%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2C333-796%29

matrix%281%2C3%2C%0D%0A%0D%0Aa%5B200%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2C-463%29 

Now do yours the exact same way.
