Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence means that every new term is created by adding a certain constant to the previous term.

we clearly see, that constant here is -9.

we start with 26.

a1 = 26

a2 = a1 - 9 = 26 - 9 = 17

a3 = a2 - 9 = a1 - 2×9 = 26 - 18 = 8

so, we see

an = an-1 - 9 = a1 - (n-1)×9 = 26 - (n-1)×9

a59 = 26 - 58×9 = -496
