    Assuming y ou mean aritmetic sequence since you said 'difference' as in 'common difference'

    an=a1+d (n-1)

    given

    6th term is 22

    and difference is 6

    that means

    a6=a1+6 (6-1) = 22

    22=a1+6 (5)

    22=a1+30

    minus 30 both sides

    -8=a1

    so we now have

    an=-8+6 (n-1)

    find 50th term

    a50=-8+6 (50-1)

    a50=-8+6 (49)

    a50=-8+294

    a50=286

    50th term is 286

    The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is:

    a (n) = a + d (n - 1)

    a : first term

    d : common difference (6)

    n : number of the term

    In your example, you are told the 6th term is 22.

    a (6) = a + 6 (6 - 1) = 22

    a + 30 = 22

    a = 22 - 30

    a = - 8

    So now you have the general formula:

    a (n) = - 8 + 6 (n - 1)

    If you like you can simplify it:

    a (n) = - 8 + 6n - 6

    a (n) = 6n - 14

    Then you can plug in n = 50:

    a (50) = 6 (50) - 14

    = 300 - 14

    = 286
