Answer

Final Answer: The 50th term of the sequence is \(\boxed{153}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given an arithmetic sequence with the first term \(a_{1}=6\) and common difference \(d=3\), we are asked to find the 50th term of the sequence.

Step 2 :The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by: \(a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) * d\)

Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(a_{50} = 6 + (50 - 1) * 3\)

Step 4 :Simplify the expression to find the 50th term: \(a_{50} = 153\)

Step 5 :Final Answer: The 50th term of the sequence is \(\boxed{153}\)
