Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
first term (a) = 6
Common Difference (d) = 1 - 6 = - 5
Last term (tn )= - 239
Number of terms (n) = ?
We know
Tn = a + ( n - 1 ) d
- 239 = 6 + (n - 1) (-5)
- 239 = 6 - 5n + 5
- 239 = 11 - 5n
5n = 11 + 239
5n = 250
n = 250 / 5
n = 50
The number of terms is 50.
