A%28n%29++=++-1+%2B+%28n+-+1%29%28-10%29
to find the sixth term substitute 6 for n
A%286%29++=++-1+%2B+%286+-+1%29%28-10%29
A%286%29++=++-1+%2B+%285%29%28-10%29
A%286%29++=++-1-50
A%286%29++=++-51


to find the tenth term substitute 10 for n
A%2810%29++=++-1+%2B+%2810+-+1%29%28-10%29
A%2810%29++=++-1+%2B+%289%29%28-10%29
A%2810%29++=++-1-90
A%2810%29++=++-91

to find the sixtieth term substitute 60 for n
A%2860%29++=++-1+%2B+%2860+-+1%29%28-10%29
A%2860%29++=++-1+%2B+%2859%29%28-10%29
A%2860%29++=++-1-590
A%2860%29++=++-591
