Find the 94th term of the sequence

Find the 94th term of the arithmetic sequence:  −26, −37, −48, .....

---

This is an arithmetic sequence, where the common difference is -11.  Eleven is being subtracted each time you move from number to number through the sequence.

Start with -26 and subtract 11, 93 times.

-26 -11(93)  {started with -26 and subtracted 11, 93 times}
= -26 - 1023  {multiplied -11 by 93}
= -1049  {subtracted}

-1049 is the 94th term
